A review by casparb
The Descent of Alette by Alice Notley

RIGHT this is WEIRD and delightful and something like a contemporary feminist epic , Alice Notley is super cool & is famous for being so she keeps going. maybe this could have been slightly fewer pages but who's complaining

anyway one of my favourite features of this is I think Alice , very like Sharon Olds, is using/has discovered a poetic technique that actually Works and MAKES SENSE Psychologically I think it seeps in convincingly it's "practical and delicious"
