Ruthlessly unguarded, surgically self-parodic, and infinitely funny, Eileen Myles' Working Life is an indispensable book about friendship and intimacy. It explores permanence and mortality, danger and safety, fear and wonder, and finds transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us and in the solitary and collective act of caring for one another and our world. With intelligence, heart, and singular vision, Myles works at a thrilling new pitch of her poetic and philosophical powers.
The poems in Working Life arise in the close quarters of air travel, the flashing of a landscape through a train window, in a truck tooling around town, or on foot with a dog during the pandemic lockdowns. Their lines unabashedly sing the happy contradictions of love and sex, spill over with warnings about the not-so-future world threatened by climate change and capitalism, and find transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us, and in the solitary and collective act of caring for one another and our world.
Myles' Working Life is a testament to the power of poetry to capture the measure of life. It is a book that will make you laugh and shiver as you turn the pages, and that will leave you with a deeper understanding of the world and your place in it.
