    IKKE MIG fra 1991 er Eileen Myles’ gennembrudsdigtsamling, skrevet i firsernes New York. I åbningsdigtet afslører digteren sin hemmelige – fiktive – identitet som en Kennedy og proklamerer: “vi er alle Kennedy’er. Og jeg er jeres præsident.” I 1991-92 stillede Myles faktisk op til præsidentvalget i USA. Det siger lidt om, hvor radikal en praksis, der er tale om. IKKE MIG er kompromisløs og normkritisk, både i sin trashede, viltre form og i sit indhold. IKKE MIG handler om køn og homoseksualitet, klasseskel og byfornyelse. Og om barndom og kærlighed. Telefonsvareren, som blinker.Bogen er oversat af Mette Moestrup.EILEEN MYLES, f. 1949, voksede op i en katolsk arbejderklassefamilie i Boston og flyttede til New York i 1974 for at blive digter. Forfatterskabet tæller tyve værker og spænder over poesi, romaner og essays. Romanen Chelsea Girls (1994) blev genudgivet i 2015, og samme år udkom det store digtudvalg I Must Be Living Twice. New and Selected Poems. Myles har modtaget en række priser, bl.a. Guggenheim Fellowship og Shelley Memorial Award, og blev i 2014 populært kendt som muse for en karakter i tv-serien Transparent. The New York Times har omtalt Myles som “en kultfigur for en generation af post-punk kvinder, der skaber deres egen litterære avantgarde”. Myles er desuden performancekunstner og har bl.a. optrådt med gruppen Sister Spit. Eileen Myles omtaler sig selv med det kønsneutrale “de” (ikke “hun”). Man kan sige, de fremskriver en outsiderposition som universel.

    From “one of the essential voices in American poetry” (New York Times) comes a rich new collection of expansive, light-footed, and cheerfully foreboding poems oddly in tune with our strange and evolving presentThe first new collection since Evolution from the prolific poet, activist, and writer Eileen Myles, a “Working Life” unerringly captures the measure of life. Whether alone or in relationship, on city sidewalks or in the country, their lyrics always engage with permanence and mortality, danger and safety, fear and wonder.a “Working Life” is a book transfixed by the everyday: the “sweet accumulation” of birds outside a window, a cup of coffee and a slice of pizza, a lover’s foot on the bed. These poems arise in the close quarters of air travel, the flashing of a landscape through a train window, or simply in a truck tooling around town, or on foot with a dog in all the places that held us during the pandemic lockdowns. Myles’s lines unabashedly sing the happy contradictions of love and sex, spill over with warnings about the not-so future world threatened by climate change and capitalism, and also find transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us, and in the solitary and collective act of caring for one another and our world.With intelligence, heart, and singular vision, a “Working Life” shows Eileen Myles working at a thrilling new pitch of their poetic and philosophical powers.

Her story of a young female writer, discovering both her sexuality and her own creative drive in the meditative and raucous environment that was New York City in its punk and indie heyday, is engrossing, poignant, and funny.

    A groundbreaking and candid novel-in-real-time, considered a cult classic, from one of America's most celebrated poetsIn this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms her life into a work of art. Told in her audacious and singular voice made vivid and immediate in her lyrical language, Chelsea Girls cobbles together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her volatile adolescence, her unabashed "lesbianity," and her riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s New York.Suffused with alcohol, drugs, and sex; evocative in its depictions of the hardscrabble realities of a young artist's life; with raw, flickering stories of awkward love, humor, and discovery, Chelsea Girls is a funny, cool, and intimate account of a writer's education, and a modern tale of how one young female writer managed to shrug off the chains of the rigid cultural identity meant to define her.

    Eileen Myles's poetry and prose are known for their blend of reality and fiction, the sublime and the ephemeral, in which readers can peer into existent places, like the East Village of Myles's iconic Chelsea Girls. But they are also lifted into dreams, through writing that has the vividness and energy of fantasy. I Must Be Living Twice brings selections from the poet's previous work together with a set of bold new poems, through which Myles continues to refine their sardonic, unapologetic, and fiercely intellectual literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York City, Myles's stomping grounds and the home of their most well-known work, they provide a wide-open lens into a radical life.

    A poet and post-punk heroine writes on subjects ranging from Björk to Robert Smithson, from traveling in Iceland to walking in Thoreau's footsteps on Cape CodPoet and post-punk heroine Eileen Myles has always operated in the art, writing, and queer performance scenes as a kind of observant flaneur. Like Baudelaire's gentleman stroller, Myles travels the city—wandering on garbage-strewn New York streets in the heat of summer, drifting though the antiseptic malls of La Jolla, and riding in the van with Sister Spit—seeing it with a poet's eye for detail and with the consciousness that writing about art and culture has always been a social gesture. Culled by the poet from twenty years of art writing, the essays in The Importance of Being Iceland make a lush document of her—and our—lives in these contemporary crowds. Framed by Myles's account of her travels in Iceland, these essays posit inbetweenness as the most vital position from which to perceive culture as a whole, and a fluidity in national identity as the best model for writing and thinking about art and culture. The essays include fresh takes on Thoreau's Cape Cod walk, working class speech, James Schulyer and Björk, queer Russia and Robert Smithson; how-tos on writing an avant-garde poem and driving a battered Japanese car that resembles a menopausal body; and opinions on such widely ranging subjects as filmmaker Sadie Benning, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, Ted Berrigan's Sonnets, and flossing.
