INFERNO (A POET'S NOVEL) is named Poetry Book of the Year by About.com
Read the rave review on About.comEileen Myles’ Inferno (A Poet’s Novel) is poetry book of the year 2011! Of course, it is a novel—but Myles’ prose is so dense and fun and immediate that it always seems to be saying, “A poet wrote this and I can’t wait to become a poem myself.”
Inferno—a novel with the title of a classic poem. I remind you of this because when you Google “Dante Inferno” the first listing is the digital game: “...battle through the 9 circles of Hell facing fierce and hideous monsters, your own sins, and a dark past of unforgiveable war crimes...” Which sounds like Myles’ Inferno: a coming of age/becoming a poet/coming out/going sober story.
