07.11: Poets Patricia Lockwood & Emily Kendal Frey
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
A breathtaking new collection from one of today's boldest and most adventurous poets, the poems in Patricia Lockwood's Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals (Penguin) address the most urgent questions of our time, like: What if a deer did porn? 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? Sorrow Arrow (Octopus Books) is the new collection from award-winning poet Emily Kendal Frey. "Wily, witty and weird, often haunting, sometimes heartbreaking, [Frey's] poems...dive deep, for all their individual brevity" (Dana Levin).
