"New poems and beloved favorites from the author of Chelsea Girls. Eileen Myles' work is known for its blend of reality and fiction, the sublime and the ephemeral. Her work opens readers to astonishing new considerations of familiar places, like the East Village in her iconic Chelsea Girls, and invites them into lush -- and sometimes horrid -- dream worlds, imbuing the landscapes of her writing with the vividness and energy of fantasy. Selections from the poet's previous work along with bold new poems that reflect her sardonic, unapologetic, and fiercely intellectual literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York City, this is a prism refracting a radical world and a compelling life. Eileen Myles was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has published more than a dozen volumes of poetry and fiction including Not Me (1991), Chelsea Girls (1994), Cool for You (2000), and Skies (2001). Recent books include Sorry, Tree (2007), The Importance of Being Iceland: Travel Essays in Art (2009), and Inferno: a poet's novel (2010).
