About the Author:
Patricia Lockwood was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and raised in all the worst cities of the Midwest. Her poetry collections include Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals (Penguin Books, 2014) and Balloon Pop Outlaw Black (Octopus Books, 2012).
Review:
"Her lines feel fresh but footed, with the studious curiosity of Marianne Moore. Lockwood doesn't so much turn the tables as flip the whole house upside down." -- Michael Andor Broduer, The Boston Globe
"Wildly original poems: obscene, sharp, and funny. The whole collection is unforgettable, literally: once read, it cannot be forgotten." -- NPR
"Most of her best lines are wildly unprintable here. ... The little hairs on my back rose often while reading Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals, as if it were the year of the big wind. That's biological praise, the most fundamental kind, impossible to fake." -- Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"Lockwood has written a book at once angrier, and more fun, more attuned to our time and more bizarre, than most poetry can ever get." -- Stephen Burt, The New York Times Book Review
"For the nimble, the skeptical, and the restless, writing like this represents a way to be in a country whose failures seem to them as much aesthetic as they are ethical. Lockwood's poems are less a critique of that culture than an alternative opened up sideways to it." -- Jonathan Farmer, Slate

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A breathtaking collection from one of today's boldest and most adventurous poetsWhat if a deer did porn? Is it legal to marry a stuffed owl exhibit? Do men deserve to be hypnotized for their crimes? And what would the tit-pics of famous dead Americans Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson really look like? Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals is the only book that dares to answer these questions - or, at the very least, to come tantalisingly close before dancing mournfully away again, its rump twirling through the artificial night of the last great gorilla actor's costume.Taking in a philosophically-minded Loch Ness Monster, a younger brother's military tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the autobiographical poem 'Rape Joke', Patricia Lockwood's second collection shows one of today's most original poets at her virtuosic best, combining a free-wheeling and surreal sense of humour on the surface with a deep seriousness and an intricate technical mastery lurking always just below it.
