EAST SIDE STORY
 The latest issue of Bookforum includes an extract from a conversation between Eileen Myles and Dennis Cooper which features in Up Is Up, But So Is Down: New York's Downtown Literary Scene, 1974-1992 (NYU Press) edited by Brandon Stosuy.
Dennis Cooper: "[S]ome of the most genius punk artists like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine and Patti Smith were poets, too. A lot of those musicians were interested in literature. I'd meet, say, Debbie Harry or David Byrne somewhere, and we'd have these long talks about literature."
