There were only five poems out of this whole collection that I understood and could relate to. The rest of them were rather confusing for the most part. All in all, I still enjoyed my experience of reading this book.

This is really good, NOO Journal recommended her and I wish I'd known about her my whole life.

All of eileen myles work is fantastic. Read all of it and any of it. It is fast. It is slow. It's visceral, it's blunt, neurotic, simple, complex, hilarious, and completely transformative.

[Petter Nordal · Rating 4 out of 5]

These poems remind me of life in the big city. I adore how Myles can use such mundane language and ordinary imagery to make life seem magical.

Brilliant. Will be re-reading and re-reading. Makes me feel wonder at the world, like the best poetry always does.

I tried, but just couldn't get into this collection of poetry.

When will Eileen Myles get a Collected Works? They deserve a long row of those beautiful Library of America spines. They are our president.
