In this time of social and political upheaval, poet and writer Eileen Myles is seeking to transcribe what feels like a series of ever changing moments into linguistic permanence. “Time itself has a kind of optic quality,” they note in their new book For Now (Why I Write), “it really takes so much time to become a writer and you have to be able to roll in time itself”. Join Myles and author Lynne Tillman for an intimate conversation about how the creative process can help us live in and through the present.  This program was livestreamed on October 13, 2020.
