Text Quotes
Part of the glamour of being a poet was always this long reach into the future. You knew you were managing time  (Eileen Myles Quotes) I really just love reading. It’s my favorite thing, performing my poems live.  (Eileen Myles Quotes) People love discovering you. The thing about not being historically a mainstream writer is that everyone feels like you’re theirs, you’re their friend.  (Eileen Myles Quotes) Listen, I have been educated. I have learned about Western Civilization. Do you know What the message of Western Civilization is? I am alone.  (Eileen Myles Quotes) I think poets are supposed to be writing for television and film. I grew up in the day of early TV that was so raw and funny, and I think we’re in the next important moment of television, where it’s really telling the epic of the culture like Charles Dickens was doing in the 19th century with his serialized novels  (Eileen Myles Quotes) The poet is like the wise fool or like a version of the stand-up, because we’re standing, we’re doing stand-up. That’s exactly what we’re doing  (Eileen Myles Quotes) Poetry is my politics. It’s an opportunity that gives me a way to speak  (Eileen Myles Quotes) I always think of childhood as the inarticulate moment, and you have your little camera. You were filming it, recording it, you just didn’t know how to speak it  (Eileen Myles Quotes) Women aren’t physically afraid of men; women are genetically afraid of men. It’s happened for such a long time  (Eileen Myles Quotes) I’m a poet born in the era of Andy Warhol and a generation that wanted to be famous  (Eileen Myles Quotes) People love discovering you. The thing about not being historically a mainstream writer is that everyone feels like you’re theirs, you’re their friend  (Eileen Myles Quotes) I really just love reading. It’s my favorite thing, performing my poems live  (Eileen Myles Quotes) Literature is love. I think it went like this: drawings in the cave, sounds in the cave, songs in the cave, songs about us. Later, stories about us. Part of what we always did was have sex and fight about it and break each other’s hearts. I guess there’s other kinds of love too. Great friendships. Working together. But poetry and novels are lists of our devotions. We love the feel of making the marks as the feelings are rising and falling. Living in literature and love is the best thing there is. You’re always home  (Eileen Myles Quotes) Time passes. That’s for sure  (Eileen Myles Quotes) I am always hungry and wanting to have sex. This is a fact  (Eileen Myles Quotes) Urban nature is like living with mass conditions. It sometimes feels like a myth and you are its scribe  (Eileen Myles Quotes) The poet’s life is just so much crenellated waste, nights and days whipping swiftly or laboriously past the cinematic window. We’re hunched and weaving over the keys of our green our grey or pink blue manual typewriter maybe a darker stone cold thoritative selectric with its orgasmic expectant hum and us popping pills and laughing over what you or I just wrote, wondering if that line means insult or sex. Or both. Usually both  (Eileen Myles Quotes)
