Alice Notley was born in 1945 in Bisbee, Arizona and grew up in Needles, California. She earned a B.A from Barnard College in 1967 and an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in 1969. In the early 70s she was active in the Chicago poetry scene, but became rooted in New York's Lower East Side, where she was an important force from 1976 through 1992. She and poet Ted Berrigan (1934-1983) married in 1972, and had two sons. In 1992 she moved to Paris, with her second husband, the British poet Douglas Oliver (1937-2000). She continues to live in Paris, making several trips to the United States each year to give readings and teach writing classes.
Fiercely independent, has earned a reputation as one of the most challenging, passionate, and engaging poets at work today. She is the author of over twenty books of poetry, and also the author of a book of essays on poets and poetry, Coming After.
Alice Notley was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and 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 and Letters and the Poetry Society of America's Shelly Memorial Award. She recently edited The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan with her sons, the poets Anselm Berrigan and Edmund Berrigan. A new edition of Selected Poems of Alice Notley is forthcoming in late 2006.
"Considered by many to be among the most outstanding of living American poets, Alice Notley has amassed a body of work that includes intimate lyrics, experimental diaries, traditional genres, the postmodern series, the newly invented epic, political observation and invective, and the poem as novel. This chronological selection of her most notable work offers a delineation of her life and creative development. Formerly associated with the second generation of the New York School, Notley has become a poet with a completely distinctive voice. Grave of Light is a progression of changing forms and stylesan extensive panorama held together explicitly by the shape of the poets times. Notleys poems challenge their subjects head-on, suffusing language with radiant truth.
"Alice Notley is a visionary poet overshadowed by no one. These poems are consistently feminist and anti-war in spirit, yet Notleys merciless honesty ensures they are never predictable." -- Rae Armantrout, author of Up To Speed, on upne.com
The three daughters of Florie Gale Arons, Newcomb 1950, established the Poetry Forum at Newcomb College Center for Research on Women in 1999 in honor of their mother's seventieth birthday, and it grows in her memory.
