Chelsea Girls by Eileen Myles

Another Black Sparrow book, this is a collection of autobiographical tales by Eileen Myles, who was the writer in residence my sophomore year of college. I regret not taking greater advantage of the fact that there was this great writer who, several hours a week (or whenever her office hours were) was sitting there on campus, making herself available to students to answer questions, chat, advise, whatever.

Strangely, the back is the same as the front but printed in white, creating kind of a ghost image.

Read a chapter
