A new collection that captures the austere serenity of the
Southwest American desert.
Award-winning, Paris-based poet Alice Notley's adventurous new
book is inspired by the life of Marie, a woman who resided in the
dump outside Notley's hometown in the Southwestern desert of
America. In this poetical fantasy, Marie becomes the ultimate
artist/poet, composing a codex-calligraphy, writings, paintings,
collage-from materials left at the dump. She is a "culture of one."
The story is told in long-lined, clear-edged poems deliberately
stacked so the reader can keep plunging headlong into the events of
the book. "Culture of One" offers further proof of how Notley "has
freed herself from any single notion of what poetry should be so
that she can go ahead and write what poetry can be" ("The Boston
Review").
