A review by aphonusbalonus
A "Working Life" by Eileen Myles
3.0
I am usually someone who prefers lush, flowery prose, dancing around the point— Myles’ is blunt and right to the point. When I read the first poem in this collection I was filled with the dread of ‘oh no, I don’t like this.’ But I kept reading, and slowly the magic of Myles’ writing was unveiled for me.
The writing style is unique and perfectly suited to the abstract tapestries Myles is building, showing an elegant and deep understanding of the craft. As soon as I read Friday Night, I knew this poetry collection would be a standout for me.
