Hey poets & poetry lovers! I'm so thrilled to present this episode with the legend herself, Alice Notley!

Alice is the author of more than 20 books of poetry including The Descent of Alette (1996) & Mysteries of Small Houses (Penguin, 1998). She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, & winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Poetry. In the spring of 2001 she received an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts & Letters & the Poetry Society of America’s Shelly Memorial Award. She edited & wrote a new introduction to her late husband Ted Berrigan’s The Sonnets (Penguin, 2000). Born in Bisbee, Arizona, Notley grew up in Needles, California. After leading a peripatetic life during the late 60s & early 70s, she settled in New York, where, for 16 years, she was an important force in the eclectic second generation of the so-called New York school of poetry.
