EAT CUNT FOR MENTAL HEALTH
Edward Salem
In the Lee Lozano monograph
on my coffee table, its cover
a crude drawing of a woman
with Stars of David for breasts,

a yellow page marker opens
to Untitled (1961), her slogan
“EAT CUNT FOR MENTAL
HEALTH.” I almost got it

tattooed in Arabic, but didn’t
have her chutzpah—she boycotted
women for twenty-plus years;
kept her ex-husband’s last name,

and later, went by Leeeeeeeee,
then just E. In emails, I go,
Best,
E
