View OnlineA selection of artworks from this collection have been digitized.

Papers of Alice Notley (1945-), an American artist and poet. The collection includes manuscripts, notebooks, correspondence, and original artwork.

Alice Notley was born in 1945 in Bisbee, Arizona. She received a B.A. from Barnard College in 1967, and her M.F.A. from the University of Iowa in 1969. She married the writer Ted Berrigan in 1972, with whom she had two sons, Anselm and Edmund, both poets. After Berrigan's death in 1983, she married the British poet Doug Oliver and relocated to Paris, France.

Notley's writing and art responds to a broad spectrum of American culture. Among the numerous collections of verse that Notley has published are Incidental in the Day World (1973), When I was Alive (1980), Waltzing Matilda (1981), Margaret and Dusty (1985), and How Spring Comes (1981), which received a 1982 San Francisco Poetry Center Book Award. Notley has also written a short autobiography entitled Tell Me Again (1982).

Notley is also a visual artist, and her collection includes original artworks such as collages, watercolors, and sketches. Many of her collages are composed of everyday objects and images and are quite consistent with her poetry in that respect.

Notley was co-editor of the literary magazine Gare Du Nord with Douglas Oliver, publishing five issues over two years (1998-1999). Magazine production ceased in the fall of 1999 when Oliver was diagnosed with cancer; he died the following spring.

Notley has continued to write both prose and poetry, including an epic poem, The Descent of Alette (1992), and the titles Desamere (1995), Mysteries of Small Houses (1998) (for which Notley was a Pulitzer Prize finalist), Disobedience (2001), Coming After (2005), Alma or the Dead Women (2006), In the Pines (2007), Reason and Other Women (2010), Culture of One (2011), Songs and Stories of the Ghouls (2011), Benediction (2015) and Certain Magical Acts (2016).

Notley has been recognized by the Arts and Letters Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Shelley Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America, and in 2015 Notley was awarded the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize.

She currently resides in Paris.
