In this volume, memories of her childhood in the California desert spring to life through evocative renderings of the American landscape, circa 1950. Likewise, her coming of age as a poet in the turbulent sixties is evoked through the era's angry, creative energy. As she looks backward with the perspective that time and age allows, Notley ably captures the immediacy of youth's passion while offering her own dry-eyed interpretations of the events of a life lived close to the bone. Like the colorful collages she assembles from paper and other found materials, Notley erects structures of image and feeling to house the memories that swirl around her in the present.In their feverish, intelligent renderings","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862437855575,"sku":"9780140588965","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780140588965.jpg?v=1759917804","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mysteries-of-small-houses-poems-penguin-poets-9780140588965","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
