Sorry, Tree
Eileen Myles
One of the savviest and most restless intellects in contemporary literature-honest, jokey, paranoid, sentimental, mean, lyrical, tough, you name it. -Dennis Cooper
Eileen Myles has written thousands of poems since she gave her first reading at CBGB in 1974. BUST magazine calls her the rock star of modern poetry and The New York Times says she’s a cult figure to a generation of post-punk females forming their own literary avant garde.
Myles’ trademark punk-lesbian sensibility and intimate knowledge of poetic tradition are at work in this eighth collection, where every love poem is political, and every political poem is, ultimately, about love.
From Home :
I thought if I inventoried home it would be broad my eyes fling open like a doll’s to the virtual space that suddenly resembles the walls the most interesting artists are large; monsters while the people we know are masses of flowers & when I turn on my cellphone I see everyone
