The Descent of Alette by Alice Notley

5.0

though i read this a few years back, it has stuck with me ever since then. notley's work just shook me to the bone, exploring whole sides of my psyche i didn't even know i had. not only is this a type of writing that absolutely should be brought back into existence (there aren't enough epic poems being written anymore), but the feminist stand point is just perfect for this work. i'm obsessed. been meaning to read it again ever since.
