I 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 MylesPeople loved to talk about how Frank O'Hara didn't really care about getting published. That doesn't jibe with my experience.
Eileen MylesPeople love discovering you. The thing about not being historically a mainstream writer is that everyone feels like you're theirs, you're their friend.
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.
