Fuccboi is a vibe.

Take the poet's name out of the quote below and replace it with Sean Thor Conroe and that's the review.
And Eileen Myles didn't do the thing poets be doing at poetry readings where they make everyone uncomfortable at their self-seriousness, and by the end feel (the audience, or at least I would) like the poet just jerked it, straddling them so they were trapped, and then busting prematurely onto their chest.
No. Eileen was charming, charismatic, self-aware.
Honestly hilarious.
Lubed everyone up with killer banter before plunging into the bars.
Which themselves didn't sound all that different than the banter. Just more ordered.

Would definitely read again.
