Eileen Myles, Reading + Conversation

  • This event has passed.

Eileen Myles writes poems that don’t feel precious at all, though there is something relentlessly intimate in their flat-footed irreverence. They also write fiction, essays about art and other things and make photographs through their Instagram @eileen.myles. Through it all, Myles (often accompanied by their golden pit bull Honey) finds ways to trace the world as they move through it, stealing bashful smiles with their familiar, shifting imagery.

Myles lives and works in New York and Marfa, TX and has written over twenty books, including evolution (poems), Afterglow (a dog memoir), a 2017 re-issue of Cool for You, I Must Be Living Twice/new and selected poems, and Chelsea Girls. They are the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Andy Warhol/Creative Capital Arts Writers grant, four Lambda Book Awards, the Shelley Prize from the PSA, and a poetry award from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts.

*This event is presented by the Williams College Art Department 1960s Scholars and Williams Grad Art, the Libraries, Dean’s Office, the English Department, Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department, and the Queer Student Union
