The new poetry collection from the award-winning author of Chelsea
Girls reads like “an arrival, a voice always becoming, unpinnable
and queer” (Natalie Diaz, New York Times Book Review). The first
all-new collection of poems from Eileen Myles since
2011’s Snowflake/different streets, Evolution follows the
author’s critically acclaimed Afterglow (a dog memoir), as well as
a volume of selected poems, I Must Be Living Twice. In these new
poems, we find the eminent, exuberant writer at the forefront of
American literature, upending genre in a new vernacular that radiates
insight, purpose, and risk while channeling of Quakers, Fresca, and
cell phones. This long-awaited new collection “lopes forward in
the strutting style of the witnessing and sincere, but gorgeously
nonaustere, poet in New York…The gift of Evolution is its bold
depiction of the textually-rendered ‘I’-Eileen” (Kenyon Review).
