Winner of the 2007 Lenore Marshall Prize for most outstanding book of the year, Alice Notley's, Grave of Light: New and Selected Poems 1970–2005 chronicles the life of an essential and lively poet who defies simple identification.

Considered by many to be among the most outstanding of living American poets, Alice Notley has amassed a body of work that includes intimate lyrics, experimental diaries, traditional genres, the postmodern series, the newly invented epic, political observation and invective, and the poem as novel. This chronological selection of her most notable work offers a delineation of her life and creative development.

Formerly associated with the New York School, Notley has become a poet with a completely distinctive voice. Grave of Light is a progression of changing forms and styles—an extensive panorama held together explicitly by the shape of the poet's times. Notley's poems challenge their subjects head-on, suffusing language with radiant truth.

Alice Notley has published more than twenty collections of poems. Her Mysteries of Small Houses was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She has received the Griffin Poetry Prize, the Los Angeles Times Book Award for poetry, and an Academy Award from the Academy of Arts and Letters.
