Praise for Being Reflected Upon: “Experimentation is the hallmark of Notley’s poetry; in nearly every book, a new method or idea arrives by which to channel her voice.” —Hannah Zeavin, The Paris Review “[Notley]’s become a kind of goddess, dreaming the world into being.” —Sara Nicholson, The Paris Review “[Readers] are in for a wild, kaleidoscopic ride . . . If her collection has a through line, it is Notley’s loves, incidental and formative, from long-term partners to someone met once on a ‘shuttle in Dallas.’” —The Los Angeles Review of Books “It is indeed fitting that one of America’s great poets, Alice Notley, should write a memoir in verse . . . a metaphysical portrait in glances, of a restless poetic consciousness concerned with life, death, and everything in between.” —Lit Hub, “Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2024” “A poetic journey . . . Fans of Notley will appreciate her new-age approach to her works; new fans will enjoy digging into her thoughts and visions through poems.” —The Philadelphia Tribune “A window into the sources of [Notley's] telepathic and visionary poetics.” —Write or Die “Notley offers an intriguing and spirited reflection on a life in poetry.” —Publishers Weekly
