Grainy and stripped down, this gritty novel traces the downbeat progress of a tough, queer girl growing up in working-class Boston by "a cult figure to a generation of post-punk females forming their own literary avant-garde" (The New York Times).Why can't I live right now. But I do know this: not all of us were sent here to work.The first published novel of legendary poet and performer Eileen Myles follows a queer female growing up in working-class Boston, straining against the institutions that hold her: family, Catholic school, jobs at a camp, at a nursing home, at a school for developmentally disabled adult males.She wants to be an astronaut. Because I am not rich, I am not a saint.
Schooled by mean and memorable Catholic nuns, this tomboy Instead, she becomes a poet and journeys through a series of low-end schools, pathetic jobs, and unmade beds.
