4.0 out of 5 stars
fine twentieth century verse,
This review is from: Maxfield Parrish: Early and New Poems (Paperback)
Black Sparrow Press has done it again. They seem to be the avatars of modern poetry. Eileen Myles is another fine living poet to get the Black Sparrow treatment. This collection combines both old poems from the 7os as well as newer material from the 90s. The old and new material play off of each other very well. She has the ability to write personally without whining. This is a quality often missing in poetry today. Her life has been an interesting one and her poetry is a startling testament to that fact. One poem I really enjoyed was An Attitude About Poetry. It sums up her attitude toward poetry and it is well stated. Other poems like Mysogyny and To The Maiden of Choice (to name a couple) reveal her gift for irony and her passion for life. This is a great collection. I reccommend it for anyone that wants to read new poetry that sounds a barbaric yawp.
