{"product_id":"the-descent-of-alette-alice-notley-paperback","title":"The Descent of Alette -- Alice Notley, Paperback","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Decent Of Alette\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich odyssey of transformation in the tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Inferno\u003c\/i\u003e. Alice Notley presents a feminist epic: a bold journey into the deeper realms. Alette, the narrator, finds herself underground, deep beneath the city, where spirits and people ride endlessly on subways, not allowed to live in the world above. Traveling deeper and deeper, she is on a journey of continual transformation, encountering a series of figures and undergoing fragmentations and metamorphoses as she seeks to confront the Tyrant and heal the world. Using a new measure, with rhythmic units indicated by quotations marks, Notley has created a spoken text, a rich and mesmerizing work of imagination, mystery, and power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Notley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140587647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 18-UP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Boston Book Review - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/18\/1996 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/1996 pg. 1118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Notley\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet whose twenty previous titles include \u003cb\u003eThe Descent of Alette, Beginning with a Stain, Homer's Art\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/b\u003e.
