Notley's work has always been highly narrative, and her new book mixes short lyrics with long, expansive lines of poetry that often take the form of prose sentences, in an effort \"to change writing completely.\" The title piece, a folksong-like lament, makes a unified tale out of many stories of many people; the middle section, \"The Black Trailor,\" is a compilation of noir fictions and reflections; while the shorter poems of \"Hemostatic\" range from tough lyrics to sung dramas. Full of curative power, music, and the possibility of transformation, \u003ci\u003eIn the Pines\u003c\/i\u003e is a genre- bending book from one of our most innovative writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Notley\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet whose twenty previous titles include \u003cb\u003eThe Descent of Alette, Beginning with a Stain, Homer's Art\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/b\u003e.
