Alice Notley has earned a reputation as one of the most challenging and engaging radical female poets at work today. Her last collection, Mysteries of Small Houses, was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize in poetry and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Structured as a long series of interconnected poems in which one of the main elements is an ongoing dialogue with a seedy detective, Disobedience sets out to explore the visible as well as the unconscious. These poems, composed during a fifteen-month period, also deal with being a woman in France, with turning fifty, and with being a poet, and thus seemingly despised or at least ignored.Author: Alice NotleyBinding Type: PaperbackPublisher: Penguin BooksPublished: 10/01/2001Series: Penguin PoetsPages: 304Weight: 0.91lbsSize: 8.98h x 5.99w x 0.82dISBN: 9780141002293 Show more
