Maggie Nelson

Maggie Nelson is an American author, poet, and cultural critic who is one of the most original and influential non-fiction writers working today. She holds the Guggenheim Fellowship and teaches at the California Institute of the Arts. The Argonauts is her genre-defying work blending memoir, literary criticism, and philosophy to explore her relationship with the artist Harry Dodge, queer family-making, pregnancy, and the limits of language. The book won the National Book Critics Circle Award and became a cultural touchstone. Her audiobooks and books are extraordinary listening and reading for anyone drawn to writing that breaks every rule beautifully.
