Published as a companion piece to their debut story collection, Bread and Water, 1969 recounts with wry exuberance a year in the emotional life of the poet Eileen Myles, or their canny stand-in, at the louche age of nineteen turning twenty. Writing of early boyfriends, witnessing Woodstock, porch times and Boston bars, Myles presents a portrait of personal aspiration and dissolution at the peak of American counterculture and global revolution.
