A mid-career collection by New York School poet Alice Notley (1945-2025), as briefly ("deliriously") inscribed to photographer Monica [Antonie] (1954-2025), noted for her extensive documentation of the New York poetry scene. An uncommon book despite its generous limitation, and one of Notley's strongest.
