Join Dene in the Cheap Seats for American poet and writer Eileen Myles reading her poetry to a live audience at the Chicago Humanities Festival.

Eileen has produced more than twenty volumes of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, plays and performance pieces over the last three decades.  Her works are known for being queer, funny, feminist and provocative.

Myles opens with poetry new and old, but dedicates much of the time for an extended reading of her dog memoir, Afterglow, inspired by her now-late companion Rosie.

The post Poet novelist Eileen Myles appeared first on Cheap Seats.
