Poet and post-punk hero Eileen Myles has always operated in the art, writing, and queer performance scenes as a kind of observant "flaneur." Myles travels the city--wandering on garbage-strewn New York streets in the heat of summer, drifting though the antiseptic malls of La Jolla, and riding in the van with Sister Spit--seeing it with a poet's eye for detail and with the consciousness that writing about art and culture has always been a social gesture. Culled by the poet from twenty years of art writing, the essays in "The Importance of Being Iceland" make a lush document of her--and our--lives in these contemporary crowds.
