Disobedience

Edición de la obra Disobedience

Alice Notley has earned a reputation as one of the most challenging and engaging radical female poets at work today. Her last collection, <em>Mysteries of Small Houses</em>, 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.
