[POEMS] Eileen Myles is a force. Author of 19 books that often don’t care to discern the lines between fiction, memoir, essays, and poetry, Myles is nothing less than a national treasure, inhabiting the “best-known secret” corner of contemporary American letters. Writing their ass off in relative obscurity yet known well as a member of a circle of Bohemian-minded Lower East Siders like Ted Berrigan, Jim Carroll, Alice Notley, and Joe Brainard, Myles has the style of a consummate conversationalist across all the genres she works in. Her writing and storytelling is never far from a long conversation with a dear friend, in which they tell you something you had never previously considered. Badass, rock star, punk-poet, none of the superlatives define them accurately enough. See for yourself at the Evergreen Commons this Thursday, April 27.
