Myles’ work is widely recognized as an exemplar of first-person writing, owing to their eye for the irreverent power of the slapdash and mundane, how a swab of peanut butter or coffee cup rings evoke keen truths of being and appetite. Myles is the author of queer canon texts Chelsea Girls (1994) and Cool for You (2000), and recently, the literary anthology, Pathetic Literature (2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEileen Myles (b. 1949) is an American writer, poet, artist, teacher, and playwright.
