In this third Why I Write volume, Eileen Myles addresses the
social, political, and aesthetic conditions that shape their work
 “A sharply etched, unvarnished self-portrait.”—Kirkus
Reviews  “[Myles] has a good time journeying through Hell,
and like a hip Virgil, . . . is happy to show us the
way.”—National Public Radio  "This is signature Myles:
the unconventional syntax, the jazzy rhythms, the total commitment
to writing in the heat of the moment, not edited or modulated by
concessions to linear rationality."—Phil Gambone, Gay &
Lesbian Review  In this raucous meditation, Eileen Myles
offers an intimate glimpse into creativity’s immediacy. With
erudition and wit, Myles recounts their early years as an awakening
writer; existential struggles with landlords; storied moments with
neighbors, friends, and lovers; and the textures and identities of
cities and the country that reveal the nature of writing as
presence in time.  For Myles, time’s “optic quality”
is what enables writing in the first place—as attention, as
devotion, as excess. It is this chronologized vision that enables
the writer to love the world as it presently is, lending love a
linguistic permanence amid social and political systems that
threaten to eradicate it. Irreverent, generous, and always
insightful, For Now is a candid record of the creative process from
one of our most beloved artists.
