The first new poetry collection since Evolution from the peerless
writer, activist and poet Eileen Myles, a "Working Life" captures
the many dualities of human life: loneliness and companionship,
city and country, youth and aging, travel and stasis, fear and
wonder. a "Working Life" is a book rooted in the beauty of the
everyday: the 'sweet accumulation' of birds outside a window, a cup
of coffee and a slice of pizza, a lover's foot on the bed. These
poems travel widely in planes, trains and cars around the world and
by foot across the terrain of the small rooms that held us during
the pandemic lockdowns. In this collection Myles shows both the
beauty and ridiculousness of love and sex, articulates the immense
anxieties about the future world threatened by climate change and
capitalism, and also finds transcendent wonder in the landscapes
and animals around us, and in the radical human act of caring for
one another and our world. With humour, beauty and singular vision,
a "Working Life" shows Eileen Myles working at the height of their
poetic and philosophical powers.
