Inferno: A Poet's Novel
An experimental novel in which the life of a poet, conversations with friends, and the feeling of the city accumulate in fragments. The boundary between autobiography and fiction softens, and language itself comes to the foreground.
Work Information
Writing poetry and living become the same heat.
Eileen Myles shapes a poet's life as a chain of fragments. Although it has the form of a novel, it is really a book of voice, memory, and observation in motion.

I bought it thinking it was the audiobook. I can't read on a screen so this is a complete waste of money for me and I can't find any contact information to help.

I only read her and Buk, I mean who else is there. Fantastic.
-
This book was, for lack of better terms, poetically written. It makes sense that its titled a poets novel, haha.
-
Fun, quick read. Meandering stories about the protagonist's life and her sexual awakening.

Inferno would make a great audiobook, it’s a book you can read for short periods of time without loosing your attention, making it truly a poet’s novel. They content itself is wonderful, and you are pulled into Myles world of the New York punk scene, it makes you nostalgic and for yearnful for such a time, but the writing style is not the most enthralling. It’s not the kind of book you could sit down for a long chunk of time and read, but if you are the person who can get behind the writing style, it is well worth it.
