A major new book-length visionary poem from a writer "whose poems
are among the major astonishments of contemporary poetry" (Robert
Polito, the Poetry Foundation) Alice Notley has become one of the
most highly regarded figures in American poetry, a master of the
visionary mode acclaimed for genre-bending, book-length poems of
great ambition and adventurousness. Her newest book, For the Ride,
is another such work. The protagonist, "One," is suddenly within
the glyph, whose walls project scenes One can enter, and One does
so. Other beings begin to materialize, and it seems like they (and
One) are all survivors of a global disaster. They board a ship to
flee to another dimension; they decide what they must save on this
Ark are words, and they gather together as many as are deemed fit
to save. They "sail" and meanwhile begin to change the language
they are speaking, before disembarking at an abandoned future city.
