I read Acker and wrote an article about her and skin art for Tattoo magazine back when. She’s everything you say, pro and con, but also I liked the relentless hammering at the doors of meaning. Yeah.
But as for the East Village scene, I lived there from 1979 to 1995. And yeah, it was dirty, filthy and dangerous. It was also magical in ways I won’t bore you with, but suffice to say: I was never bored.

Thanks. This was the one author I felt like I could get wrong and sound like a total idiot.
