I Must Be Living Twice

A collection of thrilling verse, including both new poems and beloved favourites, from the celebrated poet, modern cult icon, and author of nineteen books including Chelsea Girls.

Eileen Myles' work is known for its blend of reality and fiction, the sublime and the ephemeral. At once intimate and open-hearted, their poems are a raw, complex and compelling diary of postmodern life and invite readers into astonishing new considerations of familiar settings, from the beginnings and ends of love and the imperatives of sexual desire, to the daily wonder of a poet's life in New York City and beyond - into lush-and sometimes horrible-dream worlds, imbuing the landscapes of their writing with the vividness and energy of fantasy.

I Must Be Living Twice brings together selections from the poet's previous work with a set of bold new poems that reflect Myles's sardonic, unapologetic, and freewheeling literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York City, I Must Be Living Twice is a prism refracting a radical world and a compelling life.

O colectie de versuri palpitante, incluzand atat poezii noi, cat si preferate iubite, de la celebrul poet, pictograma culta moderna si autor al a nouasprezece carti, inclusiv Chelsea Girls. Opera lui Eileen Myles este cunoscuta pentru amestecul sau de realitate si fictiune, sublim si efemer. In acelasi timp, intime si deschise, poeziile lor sunt un jurnal crud, complex si convingator al vietii postmoderne si invita cititorii sa ia in considerare uimitoare noile situatii familiare, de la inceputurile si sfarsiturile dragostei si imperativele dorintei sexuale, pana la minunea zilnica. din viata unui poet in New York si nu numai - in lumi luxuriante si uneori oribile, de vis, impregnand peisajele scrierii lor cu intensitatea si energia fanteziei. I Must Be Living Twice reuneste selectii din lucrarea anterioara a poetului cu un un set de poezii noi si indraznete care reflecta vocea literara sardonica, lipsita de apologete si cu roata libera a lui Myles.
