About

Following the critically claimed “Afterglow” (a dog memoir) and “I Must Be Living Twice”, their career-spanning selected poems, Evolution is Myles' first all-new poetry collection since 2011's Snowflake/different streets. These new poems upend genre in a vernacular that enacts, like nothing else, the way we speak (inside and out today). From walking around Marfa and New York City with an orange pit bull to Eileen's transcendent acceptance speech as President, Evolution lifts a can of Diet Coke as an End-of-the-World toast to embodiment, irreverence and risk.

"I loved Evolution by Eileen Myles: poems that lope along, chatty, restless and limber."
