Poetry. Even all by themselves, the titles of Patricia Lockwood's poems reveal the sort of surreal, enigmatic, rhetorically-elongated world her sensibility inhabits effortlessly: "When We Move Away From Here, You'll See A Clean Square of Paper Where His Picture Hung," "The Cartoon's Mother Builds a House in Hammerspace," "The Front Half and the Back Half of a Horse in Conversation," "Children With Lamps Pouring Out of Their Foreheads," and the inimitable "Killed With an Apple Corer, She Asks What Does That Make Me."

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:
"Equally rigorous and insane. ... It invokes something nameless about why we try to create things, how those things we create feel about us, and the bizarre architectures in between." - VICE
"There's an elasticity to the work, the kind a cartoon body displays when turned into an accordion by a plummeting anvil. One of the best debuts of the year." - Coldfront
"There's a savage intelligence at work in this debut collection of poems. ... Lockwood's loping lines follow a Disney dream logic and dance like enchanted mops." - Chicago Tribune
"Lockwood's world is full of potholes and long rhythms, but it's most satisfying when the ideas are big enough to make the punch lines irrelevant." - The New Yorker
"A bold, brilliant, intelligent, strange collection of poetry." - The Rumpus
