Greenlight celebrates the paperback launch of a highly acclaimed collection of thrilling new and beloved past work from one of America’s most celebrated poets, Eileen Myles, a cult icon and modern favorite. NPR calls Myles, “a big deal, a rock star, sort of like the Patti Smith of contemporary poetry,” and I Must Be Living Twice brings selections from the poet’s previous work together with a set of bold new poems, through which Myles continues to refine their sardonic, unapologetic, and fiercely intellectual literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York City, Myles’ stomping grounds and the setting of her most well-known work, these poems provide a wide open lens into a radical life. Myles will read from the book and take questions, with a reception to follow.
