DARK HORSEY SAYS- Eileen Myles is one of the livewire late generation marriages of the New York School (of say, Berrigan & Schuyler) with a New York & 'Beat' ethos. Chelsea Girls collects many of her prose works- stories that seem full of vehemence, love & tantrum-like hurt at failures of friendship, love & drugs, the bent coin that won't operate in the subway, the deaths of friends & the rest. Very good book. And a very good-looking book!Myles's poetry, too, is great (remember Sappho's Boat?) - & Maxfield Parrish is the title of her selected poems. Also available. |
