Grave of Light: New and Selected Poems, 1970-2005 (Wesleyan Poetry)

by Alice Notley

Grave of Light: New and Selected Poems, 1970-2005 (Wesleyan Poetry) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Considered by many to be among the most outstanding of living American poets, Alice Notley has amassed a body of work that includes intimate lyrics, experimental diaries, traditional genres, the postmodern series, the newly invented epic, political observation and invective, and the poem as novel. This chronological selection of her most notable work offers a delineation of her life and creative development. Formerly associated with the second generation of the New York School, Notley has become a poet with a completely distinctive voice. Grave of Light is a progression of changing forms and styles--an extensive panorama held together explicitly by the shape of the poet's times. Notley's poems challenge their subjects head-on, suffusing language with radiant truth.

Synopsis:

Selected poems from a visionary feminist poet.
