Patricia Lockwood (born April 27, 1982) is an American poet. She has published two poetry collections and is notable for her trans-genre poetics, including her series of Twitter "sexts" and the prose poem "Rape Joke." == Life and work == Lockwood was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Her father, a Naval seaman serving on a nuclear submarine in the Cold War, had a conversion experience after watching ''The Exorcist'' and became a married Catholic priest.〔("Sexts, Surrealism and Twitter Poetry" ), Hazlitt〕 Lockwood grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and Cincinnati, Ohio, attending parochial schools there, but never went to college. "She married at 21, has scarcely ever held a job and, by her telling, seems to have spent her adult life in a Proustian attitude, writing for hours each day from her 'desk-bed,'" according to a profile in The New York Times Magazine.〔("The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas" ), The New York Times Magazine〕 During that period, from 2004 to 2011, Lockwood's poems began to appear widely in magazines including The New Yorker, Poetry, and the London Review of Books. In 2011, Lockwood joined Twitter. In 2012, small press Octopus Books published Lockwood's first poetry collection, ''Balloon Pop Outlaw Black''. The Chicago Tribune praised the work for its "savage intelligence."〔("Poetry in Neglect" ), Chicago Tribune〕 The collection was included in end-of-year lists by The New Yorker〔("Best Books of 2012 P.S." ), The New Yorker〕 and Pitchfork〔("Guest List: Best of 2012" ), Pitchfork〕 and became one of the best-selling indie poetry titles of all time.〔 Its iconic cover features original artwork by cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt.〔("Let's Help Patricia Lockwood Get a Tramp Stamp, Shall We?" ), The Poetry Foundation〕 In 2014, Penguin Books published Lockwood's second poetry collection, ''Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals''. The book's cover features more original artwork by Hanawalt. The New York Times critic Dwight Garner praised the book for its "indelible, dreamlike details." Stephen Burt, writing for The New York Times Book Review, lauded it as "at once angrier, and more fun, more attuned to our time and more bizarre, than most poetry can ever get."〔("Patricia Lockwood's 'Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals'" ), The New York Times〕 The Stranger dubbed ''Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals'' "the first true book of poetry to be published in the 21st century."〔("The Most Modern Poet" ), The Stranger〕 Rolling Stone included Lockwood and the book on its 2014 Hot List, and the New York Times named it a Notable Book.〔("100 Notable Books of 2014" ), The New York Times〕 Riverhead Books has announced it will publish a memoir by Lockwood in 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patricia Lockwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
