	Very Unnecessary: Alice Notley, The Descent of Alette (pausing for poetry) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Alice Notley, The Descent of Alette (pausing for poetry)
		Alice Notley became one of my favorite poets from almost the instant I was introduced to her work about five years ago.
		Notley says they are there to slow the reader down, to create narrative distance, and to emphasize the orality of her phrases -- which they do, inducing a decent trance-like state in the process by placing your breaths precisely where they're intended to be.

	Disobedience by Alice Notley - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		Alice Notley's latest book, Disobedience, is a feisty, irreverent volume that gives the finger to many of the received ideas and unexamined assumptions inscribed in dominant culture.
		Unlike other devices that Notley has invented to open her work to new measures--such as innovative use of parentheses, ellipses, and dashes--the lines on the page in Disobedience are less prosodic than visual.
		Followers of Notley's work will recognize the caves, the owl, and the 'guides,' as well as other of the poet's symbols, from her previous books ("Descend descend descend--I do that in all my poems").

	Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More - Finding the Female Voice: Alice Notley's Poems and Collages
		Alice Notley is a prominent member of the second-generation New York School of poets, as well as a visual artist known particularly for her collages.
		Notley herself has remarked that there is a way in which a female poet is always struggling to find a voice.
		Because epics, narrative poetry, and the voices that one grows up hearing were created by men, Notley says, female poets have suppressed what the female mind must have been like before the existence of the forms invented by men.

	Loggernaut Reading Series
		Born in 1945, Alice Notley is the author of more than twenty collections of poetry, including The Descent of Alette and Disobedience.
		Alice Notley writes in her Disobedience a question close to my heart: "If this is a diary / is it worthless / like life?" I'd copied this into my journal, before eventually spending a day in New York University's Fales Library to read her Sorrento, housed in the Downtown Collection.
		Sorrento is a diary of sorts in poems of a trip taken with her husband at the time, the poet Ted Berrigan, and their two children, Edmund and Anselm, now poets themselves, all of them present in the body of the work itself.

		Hardwood, who at times appears to be a stand-in for Notley's late second husband, the poet Douglas Oliver, seems at others to be an interior persona, the "hard," even male, aspect of her own psyche that she uses to power her defenses against the world.
		The naturalness of Notley's idiom, the distinctive and uncompromising perspective of her thought, the almost Rimbaudian zeal to break free of convention, the sense that she is, after all, very vulnerable in her struggle all these contradictory elements fire Notley along a comet's path of spiritual discontent.
		All is mutable and cinematic as Robert Mitchum and other stars haunt Notley's thickly atmospheric and carnival-like universe, where she descends into the caves of a parallel world as bombs explode, strikes are declared, the past invades the present, and the elemental vies with the fashionable.

	Brian Kim Stefans: Notes from the Underground
		Notley’s idiom is different from that of the Surrealists, for whom the the free play of the subconscious cast an estranging, aestheticizing aura over objects and emotions.
		Instead, Notley uses dreams in a manner both very ancient and very contemporary; while they take on an air of prophecy and riddle, their candor and fluidity of meaning implicitly critique the decorousness and stringency of time-sheet-driven monoculture.
		If the cave and the dream world return Notley to her particularity and Whitmanic sense of commonality, then the mediascape is the opposite: it abuses both her empathy and her narcissism to the point of replacing the interior mirror with ephemeral, packaged events and model, even ageless, doubles—and a home country she refuses to recognize.

	\|\|\| Granary Books :: Alma, or the Dead Women \|\| Alice Notley \|\|\|
		Alice Notley's Alma, or The Dead Women is a cross-genre book, poem/novel, poetry/prose, comedy/tragedy, that submits to no discipline but its own and was conceived by the author in a state of personal, national, and planetary grief.
		In this book, Alma, the true god of our world, is a foul-mouthed middle-aged working-class woman, a junky who injects heroin into the center of her forehead and dreams and suffers our nightmares with us.
		With the Dead Women, a community of spirits she attracts before but especially after September 11, 2001, Alma surveys with disbelief and horror the actions of the United States government as it perpetrates one war and prepares for another.

		Alice Notley was born in Bisbee, Arizona, on November 8, 1945, and grew up in Needles, California.
		In all likelihood, I wrote Alice Notley because, as she had found "company" in the unheard sound she historically shared with Mayer and Waldman, I had heard in her work something I wanted in my own work.
		The other context--literal this time--that Notley's work returns to again and again is the desert--specifically, The Mojave Desert, a region we now share, she by birth and I by transplantation.

		She discovers the purpose of her journey is to kill the tyrant, who once nearly succeeded in destroying the snake.
		War veterans, the mentally disturbed, homeless people--they are real witnesses and participants in our travel, and we deny or affirm their existence by passing or stopping for them when taking a train or bus.
		Notley uses this real experience to give strangers voice and to create exchanges so often feared in daily life.

	double change
		As has been said: "Poetry is an arm loaded with the future." Alice Notley agrees, saying "Poetry has always had a line into the future, sometimes five, sometimes fifty or a hundred years." Yet she fears, as she says in the following interview, that that future may be short-lived.
		Perhaps, the "truth," as Notley calls it, found in Disobedience and her other works, could, she says, save us from what she fears might be a very short future.
		Alice Notley: With this book, Disobedience, I was actually trying to break down those distinctions, because I had maintained them very much in those two previous books.

		Notley explores the work of second-generation New York School poets and their allies: Ted Berrigan, Anne Waldman, Joanne Kyger, Ron Padgett, Lorenzo Thomas, and others.
		These essays and reviews are among the first to deal with a generation of poets notorious for their refusal to criticize and theorize, assuming the stance that "only the poems matter." The essays are characterized by Notley's strong, compelling voice, which transfixes the reader even in the midst of professional detail.
		Born in 1945, Alice Notley was married to Ted Berrigan for ten years before his death.

	Untitled Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Alice Notley’s writing in Waltzing Matilda is a collection of various sorts of lists, letters, poetry, prose, and dialogue.
		This makes it rather difficult to say what kind of a writer she is. Some of her writing is made of lists such as her poem “I miss.” She lists the things she misses like dinosaurs, the Elizabethans, Cookies, Pot 77 cents, the trees on Waveland…”(Notley, 43).
		Notley shifts from non-traditional forms such as the lists and the nature dialogue to very traditional love poetry such as her “Poem.” “The earth slopes kindly down around me as if…/To say the closure will be a little, just a little, like this,” sounds to me like a typical piece of modern poetry.

		The prolific Notley's newest book, following this year's career-spanning selected poems, Grave of Light, is a surreal, genre-bending novel written in verse and prose poems, or an epic narrative poem written mostly in prose.
		Notley's prose pieces (which often turn into verse midway) can be extremely dense, making this a slow read.
		Nonetheless, her writing is rife with crystal-clear moments: "what does the earth want me to sing/ to it?" Notley's impossible-to-categorize book-length work portrays the confusion, angst and sadness of our troubled times.
