Incidentals in the Day World
In The Angel Hair Anthology (2001) Alice Notley says of this book “I wasn’t married or pregnant when I wrote it; then I was, and gave birth to Anselm, and became able to write from the dark, magic place. So the poems in Incidentals are thick and alienly accomplished, composed in Chicago and London.” The cover was created by Canadian American artist Philip Guston, who was known for using his art as a platform for political activism.
