From the supplier: Author Alice Notley's long poem 'The Descent of Alice' is more widely available in the complete edition of her volume 'Selected Poems' and represents her most ambitious effort. Notley's poem is vital, unashamedly feminist and is fueled by the author's ebullient quest for other ways of being in a gendered world. This quest is aptly demonstrated in one line, where she encounters a father/guide who was liberated by death into 'an ecstasy of finding another way of being' into the form of an owl.
