Or even a hotel room. Often, the person in the loft and the little apartment or room know each… Развернуть Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1

robot 15 октября 2015 г., 12:13 Пожаловаться When Joel read he had a voice that had been used for years. An old poet is like an old movie star. It was a beautiful thing. You could hear the drinks and cigarettes and he bowed right into the mike and created a little room for his aching middleaged man pain. It spread into the room of the bar. Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:27 Пожаловаться Rene explained to me about being gay. (...) I’m not gay he said with his hands in his pockets. I’m not gay at all, he said. Are you? No, I said. Who would want that. I shook my head. I think it’s horrible. I’m not happy. I’m never happy. I’m sad. I like queer better. We’re queer." Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:26 Пожаловаться Writing is just what I do to frame my longing. I replace myself. The longer I live the deeper it goes. It seems it will never end this feeling. I throw a stone down and nothing ever comes up I don’t even get circles. Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:26 Пожаловаться I can hardly tell you how this course of events came about. I went from thinking she was kind of dumb, but in a good way, like my family, to thinking she was the hinge in my life. That’s pretty hard. I saw a play once called the Emperor and the Architect and the architect just dropped down from the sky and so did this… Развернуть Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1

pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:25 Пожаловаться I kept hinting that I was a lesbian in my poems. That was my job, being catholic. Filling my poems with a secret so thick you could bounce on it. I wrote one called “My Boy’s Red Hat.” I was in a workshop and the assignment was to write a poem from the perspective of the opposite sex. Opposite from what. I mean really. I… Развернуть Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:25 Пожаловаться In college I couldn’t get over the possibilities in education. The amazing books and going on that way for years. And then I did. I couldn’t stand things being open for too long. I had to let education die. I had done that and now I could live forever in poetry and love. That’s what I felt.

pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:25 Пожаловаться I left graduate school, almost immediately, and all I had was poetry and Alice. I didn’t have Alice, I never would, but she was what I had to think about. Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1

pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:24 Пожаловаться I am so glad I am not an artist. A poet kind of is, but really it’s like you’re like a professionalized person. Poetry. Nobody knows what the fuck it is. And what makes it entirely odd is that there’s no money in it. Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:24 Пожаловаться Poets are generally good art critics for the obvious reason. That invisible tattoo on our shoulders: born to describe. Being an art critic is an easy life for a poet. Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
pintado 12 мая 2016 г., 14:24 Пожаловаться Sarah, I’ve been told, means woman in Hebrew. I loved ending a feminist play about Art with a woman savagely killing a man. Especially an attractive young teenage man, the object of so much hope. (...) It’s interesting that I had so much anger, the men always needed to get killed in my plays, but they [the male actors]… Развернуть Inferno (a poet's novel) Эйлин Майлз 4,1
