Eileen Myles & Amelia Abraham: a “Working Life”

Tuesday 8 October 2024, 7 p.m. · 79 minutes

Eileen Myles was at the shop to read from their first collection of poetry since 2018’s Evolution. The poems in a “Working Life” evoke the joy and unease in the quotidian, moving ‘with call and response between perception and thought’, as Camille Roy writes in Brooklyn Rail magazine.

They were in conversation with journalist and activist Amelia Abraham, whose Queer Intentions was published by Picador in 2020.
