Eileen Myles: Chelsea Girls (1994)

Review of 'Chelsea Girls' on 'Goodreads'

It's very good. All glittering but simple fragments of prose, and at least for me much less about individual people than about the shape and feeling of times and places, being a lesbian poet in New York City and points adjacent, being bohemian or just broke, writing a poem on a bar napkin, sex with the cute waitress in a tiny room in the Chelsea Hotel and Jimmy Schuyler is in a room downstairs.
