Piece of Cake (2019)

From Station Hill Press: "Bernadette Mayer and Lewis Warsh wrote PIECE OF CAKE as a work of collaborative prose poetry, based on a process of each writing on alternate days in the course of August of 1976. It recounts the quotidian nuances of young, married-with-child life, the artistic path and citizenship in the town of Lenox, Massachusetts. It has the 'I did this, I did that; of a New York School poetry text, as characterized by the poetry of Frank O'Hara, and is somewhat reminiscent of Mayer's work STUDYING HUNGER JOURNALS, written not long before taking up PIECE OF CAKE.”

Written in collaboration with Lewis Warsh, poet and author of four novels—Agnes & Sally (1984); A Free Man (1991, 2019); Ted’s Favorite Skirt (2002); and A Place in the Sun (2010)—and a book of collected stories, One Foot Out the Door (2014).

Mayer and Warsh will read at The Poetry Project in NYC on 12/06/2019. Click here for tickets and more information.
