About Eileen Myles
Eileen Myles operates in the art, writing, and queer performance scenes as a kind of observant flaneur. Her Inferno (a poet’s novel) narrates the past, present and future of her writing career. From 2002-2007 she directed the writing program at the University of California at San Diego. She blogs on the Poetry Foundation’s Harriet Blog and Art in America’s Roving Eye for the month of November. Her essays were collected in The Importance of Being Iceland/travel essays in art (2009) for which she received a Warhol/Creative Capital art writers’s grant. She lives in New York.
