Mexican Summer 
Transmissions Podcast :: Eileen Myles
Welcome to Aquarium Drunkard’s recurring Transmissions podcast. Today, we continue our mini-series with the fine folks at A-D.
For this episode, Jason Woodbury down with poet and novelist Eileen Myles. She came up in the ’70s, at the St. Mark’s Poetry Project in New York. In 2015, her 1994 novel Chelsea Girls was reissued; in 2016, she released a collection of poems written between 1975 and 2014 called I Must Be Living Twice. In this episode, Myles discusses her process and her next book, Afterglow, and along the way we’ll hear some selections of Myles’ poetry, pulled from her live album Aloha/Irish Trees, paired with recordings by Marfa Myths performers Pharoah Sanders and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.
