Generation-defining writer and poetry legend Eileen Myles has been busy: They last packed the Elliott Bay house in celebration of Pathetic Literature, a "global anthology of pieces from lesser-known classics" they edited that included work by over 100 writers. That was in December, and they're already returning with a new poetry collection. (What am I doing with my life??) Speaking of that Big Existential Question, Myles' latest, A "Working Life," digs into the everyday with a dualistic sense of lightness and foreboding. They may be the only poet alive who can pull that off, so go hear them read from the collection, which "takes you where Myles feels like, for however long they feel like it, and in whichever direction" (Vulture). by Lindsay Costello
