Description

In this new collection Alice Notley searches for the nature of the self, vividly reconstructing the mysteries, longings, and emotions of her past, remembering her journey from young girl to young woman to accomplished artist. In their knife-edged, intelligent renderings of moments both precise and ephemeral, Notley's poems manage to mirror and transcend the times they evoke. Her profound tributes to the stages of her life and to the identities she has assumed- child, youth, lover, poet, wife, mother, friend, and widow- are remarkable for their insight and wisdom, and for the courage of their unblinking gaze. -- from back cover.
