second generation New York School poets, though her work also shows the influence of Modernist writers like William Carlos Williams and Gertrude Stein. Taking on themes ranging from cultural politics to gender, Notley's later style has evolved into a formally
ambitious attempt to transcribe thought itself. According to Joel Brouwer in the New York Times, the "radical freshness" of Notley's poems "stems not from what they talk about, but how they talk, in a stream-of-consciousness style that both describes and dramatizes
the movement of the poet's restless mind, leaping associatively from one idea or sound to the next without any irritable reaching after reason or plot."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
