Description
Eileen Myles' latest work, For Now, is a candid record of the creative process. This raucous meditation offers an intimate glimpse into the immediacy of creativity, with the author recounting their early years as a writer, existential struggles, and storied moments with neighbors, friends, and lovers. With erudition and wit, Myles explores the nature of writing as presence in time, finding that time's "optic quality" enables writing. This chronologized vision allows the writer to love the world as it presently is, lending love a linguistic permanence amid social and political systems that threaten to erase it. Irreverent, generous, and always insightful, For Now is a unique perspective on the creative process from one of our most beloved artists.
