Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Prolific, innovative poet and art critic John Yau's My Heart Is That Eternal Rose Tattoo is an exhilarating collection of short fictions, many of which might more accurately be called prose poems. (One untitled piece reads, in its entirety: "The rain conductor glosses the crickets, their long shiny legs trembling in the waterglass morning.") With language as lovely as it is strange, he describes paintings not yet painted, photos not yet taken and movies not yet made. One of the most accessible pieces, "Double Self-Portrait," is a tongue-in-cheek meditation on Andy Warhol and Chairman Mao. Yau's many admirers will be pleased.
