Inferno: Poetry with Eileen Myles

New York poet Eileen Myles is the most seductive of writers—and impossible to categorize. Their poet’s novel, "Inferno," has quickly become a touchstone for young writers and a must-read book on the morning L train into Manhattan. Myles’s chronicles are queer, funny, feminist, and provocative. Their performances mix stand-up, Zen talk, and the first poetry reading that blew you away. Myles will be talking about their new fantasy and dog memoir "Afterglow" about their long-time companion, Rosie.
