I always think of childhood as the inarticulate moment, and you have your little camera. You were filming it, recording it, you just didn't know how to speak it.
Eileen MylesPart of the glamour of being a poet was always this long reach into the future. You knew you were managing time.
Eileen MylesI hope you all find yourselves sleeping with someone you love, maybe not all of the time, but a lot of the time. The touch of a foot in the night is sincere. I hope you like your work, I hope thereโs mystery and poetry in your life โ not even poems, but patterns. I hope you can see them. Often these patterns will wake you up, and you will know that you are alive, again and again.
Eileen MylesAs a reader I feel included a lot in Julie Carrโs hard and beautiful book. I can pretty much hear its author speakโa whispering that enables us into its world . . . a masterfully sutured journey, painfully useful. SarahโOf Fragments and Lines is a book I know I will return to. And urge it on my friends who have lives too and write in them.
