“You have to really be broken in order to be a poet. It’s a very bad thing to tell a young person, but it’s true. Poetry comes out of all the places where you break.”

Alice Notley, from an interview with BOMB magazine, September 15, 2015

“I can’t abide what the world has become, the frozen-ness of our product this evil thing that we kiss the ass of every hour. I want a dailiness that is free and beautiful.”

— Alice Notley, in an email to Maggie Nelson, in Maggie Nelson's "Like Love: Essays and Conversations." (Graywolf Press, April 2, 2024)
