Eileen Myles: “Acker sprung out of the poetry world and dealt with many things, like porn and prestige, and the legacy of William Burroughs. She rode the glamour train and did it with a shaved head and piercings. We live in a dying resurgence of the patriarchy. While we‘re winning, we need people who counter this resurgence. Acker has been dead for 20 years, but she stands as a monument to herself. Waves come back.”
