Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A breathtaking collection from one of today's boldest and most adventurous poets

What if a deer did porn? Is it legal to marry a stuffed owl exhibit? Do men deserve to be hypnotised for their crimes? And what would the tit-pics of famous dead Americans Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson really look like? Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals is the only book that dares to answer these questions—or, at the very least, to come tantalisingly close before dancing mournfully away again, its rump twirling through the artificial night of the last great gorilla actor's costume.

Taking in a philosophically-minded Loch Ness Monster, a younger brother's military tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the autobiographical poem 'Rape Joke', Patricia Lockwood's second collection shows one of today's most original poets at her virtuosic best, combining a free-wheeling and surreal sense of humour on the surface with a deep seriousness and an intricate technical mastery lurking always just below it.
