Writings After THE SUBURBS OF EDEN - an anthology inspired by Julie Speed's recent exhibition at Ballroom Marfa - is now available from The Economy Press.

The anthology includes poems and prose by Eileen Myles, Joshua Edwards, Lynn Xu, Mo Eldridge, and Zoe Kurland.

"I have my pen and I'm heading towards those nice purple mountains near Fort Davis and I'm thinking about Greece. Those two islands Fat and Far. Apollo had a foot on each. The whole shape of the earth all its cliffs and craters and even the sea have been explained to us in terms of giants. Big one-eyed people picking up boulders and throwing them. I'm glad Marfa is so chill and disorganized that whoever ordered us tied up is on some other mission entirely now. Nobody cares. That's why I love it here. But we grew up, I mean cultures did, I mean children did thinking of the world as like made and shaped by somebody huge. I'm ready. Even if I feel disastrously alone. Apollo stood on the two islands and he wanted to help the tiny men in a boat. They were lost and he needed to give them a sign. To show them the way. He threw a bolt of lightning at this island which basically lit up and said here it is. Anafi means pretty much that. By that time I had arrived at the most seductive and smoothest slope of this beautiful mountain range. I doubted I would make it to the tomato factory tonight but I began to draw."
