Eileen Myles

An evening of sharp humor, startling revelation and innovative life writing with Eileen Myles. Myles is a Lambda award-winning poet, novelist, and nonfiction writer whose vernacular first-person work has made them one of the most recognized and influential writers of their generation. In dozens of groundbreaking books, Myles has gathered up raw experience with verve and tenderness, from the cult classic auto-fiction work Chelsea Girls (1994) based on their life as a young queer artist, to the recent experimental dog memoir Afterglow (2017), and in moment-defining poetry collections like Not Me (1991) and I Must be Living Twice (2016), producing a rhapsody of attention critics have referred to as “uncanny” and “divine.”
