Holland Cotter in the New York Times says: "Eileen Myles...is a cult figure to a generation of young, post-punk female writer performers creating a niche for poetry in the better-known world of pop music and, in the process, forming a new literary avant-garde." This compilation of both prose and verse is Myles' first new work since the publication of her collected poems. In ON MY WAY Myles continues to turn heads, concentrating her fierce, unembarrassed gaze on public and intimate transactions through long and short poems and an essay entitled "The End of New England," which takes up questions of contemporary poetry and Massachussetts working class speech.
