ISBN: 0143112546 ISBN-13: 9780143112549 Publisher: Penguin Books OUR PRICE: $22.80 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: October 2007 Annotation: A bold and strikingly original new work from one of Americas greatest living poets Alice Notley is considered by many to be among the most outstanding of living American poets. Notleys work has always been highly narrative, and her new book mixes short lyrics with long, expansive lines of poetry that often take the form of prose sentences, in an effort to change writing completely. The title piece, a folksong-like lament, makes a unified tale out of many stories of many people; the middle section, The Black Trailor, is a compilation of noir fictions and reflections; while the shorter poems of Hemostatic range from tough lyrics to sung dramas. Full of curative power, music, and the possibility of transformation, "In the Pines" is a genre- bending book from one of our most innovative writers. |
