The Tricking Hour and My Pleasure by Irene Silt

We talk to poet and writer Irene Silt about their two new books published by Deluge Books in October 2022. The essays in The Tricking Hour (2018-2019) and the poems in My Pleasure (2019-2021) are expansive, and broadly concerned with sex work, anti-work feeling, and the cultivation of capacity through intimacy and experience. They contain profound insights on the nature and feelings of work derived from the particularities of sex work.We talk about affinities within and between subject positions, the politics that emerge from criminalized labor, collective and anonymous composition, boundaries and their essential permeability, intimacy, sexuality and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and how hard it is to remember your literary influences. We barely talk about queerness, love, or Sade.Twitter: https://twitter.com/unseenbookclubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unseenbookclub_podcastArt by Eli Liebman: https://elimack.weebly.com/Buzzsprout Instagram Music by Ex-Official Art by Eli Mack
