A review by arthuriana
Iphigenia by Alice Notley

5.0

completely stumbled upon this by accident—and ooh, boy, was i glad to have found this! this entire poem is (to somewhat quote a meme) transcendental, earth-shattering, in possession of truly worldwide implications. the turn of phrase and the prosody it inherently carries within its form and its formula is nothing short of astounding.

truly a little gem and i'm so glad i found it.

a knock-out read in a little less than fifteen pages but it packs a punch and i will DEFINITELY be rereading this to comb over every single crumb of symbolism and reference and etc, etc.

would advise any lover of poetry and words in general to check this out.
