Alice Notley (1945–2025)

This beautiful photo is by John Sarsgard. 

It's taken me 3 days to write this & still all I can do is say that she died, suddenly, in Paris.

 

I just had a long conversation with another of her old friends, where we laughed & told stories, & reclaimed the private relationship from the public version that we're seeing so much of. 

 

Alice and I were part of each other's life in a profound (& complicated) way for almost 50 years. I feel like I've been in a fight with George Foreman, brutally beaten. 

 

I'll try to say more down the road.
