Join us on October 9th at the Rare Book Room as we celebrate the launch of Patricia Lockwood's Agate Head/Stone Soup! Grace Byron will moderate the discussion. RSVP to join us through the link in our bio. A new collection of poetry from Booker Prize finalist and Twitter laureate Patricia Lockwood, FINALLY! Many have called Patricia Lockwood a wordsmith, but in the latest iteration of her life, she has become, quite literally, a metalsmith too. Stones, gems, metals, fossils—she forges them into bodies, faces, and, with her typical irreverence, vaginas. In these poems, a robot dog discovers the Lascaux caves in France. Jane Austen shoots a perfect 147. A rock gets a girlfriend. The Pope blesses McLovin (kind of). Lockwood’s most successful work of metal- and wordsmithing yet is her blend of the Internet world with the natural one, as she slips meme references and algospeak into evocations of geological time, explorations of organic bodies, and observations of youth. Her most personal collection of poetry yet, you may find you understand yourself—and Patricia—more than you’d like to by the end. Patricia Lockwood is the bestselling author of the Booker Prize finalist and Dylan Thomas Prize-winning novel No One Is Talking About This, named one of the 10 Best Books of 2021 by The New York Times Book Review and one of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the past 100 years. Her other books include the memoir Priestdaddy, named one of the 10 Best Books of 2017 by The New York Times Book Review, the novel Will There Ever be Another You, and two poetry collections. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New Republic, and the London Review of Books, where she is a contributing editor.

American Hagwon is finally here!!!!!!!!!! It feels like we’ve been waiting a lifetime (okay, just a decade) for Min Jin Lee’s latest, a breathtaking novel about education, immigration, community, opportunity, with a touch of white collar crime. And we were especially thrilled that Min stopped by to sign copies this week. American Hagwon is on our bookseller’s shelves—add it to yours by ordering a signed copy through the link in our bio.
