Heartfelt and affecting, Notley’s poetry leaps from the page and straight into the imagination. Essential listening for fans of Notley’s work. Those unfamiliar with her poetry will want to dive into her earlier collections.
Written in a breathless e.e. cummings style, the poem fractures the rules of spelling, grammar, syntax, and formal poetry and is at times unintelligible. But it also brims with fresh, vibrant metaphors and irony, not the least being the religious innuendos that permeate the text. For sophisticated readers of poetry.
Those interested in mythology and political poetry will find something of note here, but most will find this collection of little merit. Not Notley's best work.
