eileen myles: poet, writer, wonder

I went to her talk, this crazy, wonderful woman. She said: Being a poet is like having a studio in your head.
heres some writing she did about her dog, and other things http://www.eileenmyles.com/protect.php.
I love this bit:
"When I was a child I was taught that there was someone listening and I chanced tiny hellos that frequently felt empty but longer conversations often silences felt like I was sitting in an enormous radio, like I had big earphones on when I felt separated from the world but turned into this show."
