This episode is POETIC, listener! Eileen Myles (they/them) is a celebrated poet, novelist, and journalist best known for “Chelsea Girls” and poems that queers everywhere tattoo onto their arms, but today they’re in the apartment to SEDUCE! We break format this episode to interview Eileen and learn about their career, history, and legendary love life. In-between, we discuss art, coming out, New York in the 70s, and how camp is the best place to have queer sex. Oh - and Ashley might even read one of her original poems… and BOY is it embarrassing.
