Poetry. This 30-page, limited-edition chapbook, with cover art by Will Yackulic, collects new work by the prolific poet Alice Notley. Notley is often identified as a prominent member of the eclectic second generation of The New York School, and her experiments with poetic forms and free verse owe as much to Gerturde Stein, Frank O'Hara, and Ted Berrigan as they do to Willaim Carlos Williams. She has said that her speech is the voice of "the new wife, and the new mother" in her own time, but that her first aim is to make a poem rather than present a platform of social reform. She has published numerous books of poetry, including HOW SPRING COMES (1981) which received a 1982 San Francisco Poetry Center Book Award.

Alice Notley (born 8 November 1945) is an American poet. She was born in Bisbee, Arizona and grew up in Needles, California. She received a B.A from Barnard College in 1967 and an M.F.A. from the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa in 1969. She married poet Ted Berrigan in 1972, with whom she was active in the Chicago poetry scene and with whom she had two sons. In the early 70s she became rooted in New York's Lower East Side, where she was an important force from 1976 through 1992. After Berrigan died in 1983, Notley raised their two sons in New York's East Village by herself for several years while continuing to develop her poetry. In 1992 she moved to Paris with her second husband, the British poet Douglas Oliver (1937-2000). She lives in Paris currently, making several trips to the United States each year to give readings and teach writing classes.
