<p class=MsoPlainText>Born on November 8, 1945 in Bisbee, Arizona, Alice Notley
grew up in Needles, California. She received a B.A. from Barnard College in
1967, and an M.F.A. from the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa in
1969. She moved about frequently in her youth (San Francisco, Bolinas, London,
Essex,Chicago) and eventually married the poet Ted Berrigan in 1972, with whom
she had two sons. In the early 1970s, Notley settled in New York's Lower East
Side, where she was very involved in the local literary scene for several
decades. After Berrigan's death in 1983, she married the British poet Douglas
Oliver.<o:p></o:p></p>
