== Personal life ==
Janaka Stucky was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and spent much of his childhood in an ashram. He was originally named Jonathan, but "when he was eight months old, his parents’ guru suggested they christen him Janaka," after the ancient king of Mithila, a spiritual leader whose philosophy is chronicled in the Ashtavakra Gita and whose attainment of perfection is mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita (III,20,25). Stucky received a BFA degree from Emerson College, where he co-founded the street poetry collective The Guerilla Poets.〔 He received his MFA degree in Poetry from Vermont College in 2003.
From 2002 to 2009, he worked as an undertaker, which, he says, "influenced and informed my work a great deal . . . . I came to understand the poem as a ritual, a funeral for the constant death of language."
He is also interested in pugilism.〔
