Early life

Diana Lucille Lang [2] (née Kettle) [10] was born in Bad Hersfeld, West Germany [1] where her American father was stationed in the military, and met her mother who is German. [11] As a result of growing up in a military family [1] as a child Lang relocated frequently, residing in Herleshausen, West Germany, [12] Santa Fe, Texas, [12] Alexandria, Louisiana, [12] and Enid, Oklahoma. [10] Lang graduated from Enid High School in 2001, [10] received an Associate of Science in General Studies [13] at Northern Oklahoma College, [14] and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies with a minor in Judaic Studies [13] from the University of Oklahoma. [2] After college she moved to California in 2005 [13] and married Timothy Lang in 2006, [11] [1] living in San Rafael, California prior to moving to Vallejo. [15] [11]

Film and television

While in college Lang worked as a video editor at television station KXOK-LD, [2] [16] as webmaster for University of Oklahoma student radio station the Wire, [17] and as a band promoter for Grey from Enid, Oklahoma. [11] [16] She also created documentary films and music videos, including Liquid Wind, a kiteboarding film by director Charles Maupin that features an interview with Mike Morgan, [18] which was broadcast on Oklahoma PBS affiliate OETA, [19] and The Hebrew Project, [2] a Hebrew language film that featured University of Oklahoma professors Ori Kritz and Norman Stillman, which was broadcast on The Jewish Channel. [20]

Poetry

Lang began writing poetry as a child, first attempting to write song lyrics. [11] She cites The Beatles, [11] Pete Seeger, Allen Ginsberg, Jim Morrison, and Bob Dylan as influences. [1] In addition to writing about her life, [11] Lang writes on themes of Judaism, [21] social justice, [11] political protest, [22] feminism, [22] anti-capitalism, [21] anti-racism [21] and pacifism. [21] [22] Lang began performing her poetry in 2015 [11]at Poetry by the Bay. [23] Her poems have been published in newspapers, journals, and anthologies.

Lang's poem "American Dream," [24] originally included in the 2022 anthology Reimagine America: An Anthology for the Future will be included in The Vagabond Lunar Collection which features the social justice themed work of 127 poets. [25] Mark Lipman of Vagabond Books compiled the collection for Samuel Peralta's Lunar Codex time capsule project, [25] which launches art stored on memory cards and nano-fiche to the moon. [26] The anthology is included in Codex Polaris, traveling to the Nobile Crater as part of NASA's Artemis program, [27] and is expected to launch to the moon in November 2024 or February 2025. [25]
