The acclaimed second collection of poetry by Patricia Lockwood,
Booker Prize finalist author of the novel No One Is Talking About
This and the memoir Priestdaddy SELECTED AS A BEST BOOK OF THE
YEAR: The New York Times * The Boston Globe * Powell's * The Strand
* Barnes & Noble * BuzzFeed * Flavorwire "A formidably gifted
writer who can do pretty much anything she pleases." - The New York
Times Book Review Colloquial and incantatory, the poems in Patricia
Lockwood's second collection address the most urgent questions of
our time, like: Is America going down on Canada? What happens when
Niagara Falls gets drunk at a wedding? Is it legal to marry a
stuffed owl exhibit? Why isn't anyone named Gary anymore? Did the
Hatfield and McCoy babies ever fall in love? The steep tilt of
Lockwood's lines sends the reader snowballing downhill,
accumulating pieces of the scenery with every turn. The poems'
subject is the natural world, but their images would never occur in
nature. This book is serious and funny at the same time, like a big
grave with a clown lying in it.
