" Myles is a female adventurer... a peripatetic poet on a mission to amplify herself and to live large as the heroic anti-hero of her poems." -- "Village Voice"
" "Not Me" is the biography of an American outlaw... a poet who believes in action as well as acts of imagination." -- "The Kenyon Review"
" Myles basically talks shit in skinny columns and calls them poems. Thing is, she has one of the savviest voices and most restless intellects in contemporary lit -- honest, jokey, paranoid, sentimental, mean, lyrical, tough, you name it." -- Dennis Cooper, "Artforum"
