A review by snchard
Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals by Patricia Lockwood

4.0

Even when I had no idea what was happening, I found this book of poems unreasonably delightful. For as indecipherable and sometimes bleak as each poem was on its own, this collection made me want to go back to college to study hallucinogenic philosophy with a minor in underwater women's studies. "Rape Joke" is the main draw here (and the reason I, like many others, became familiar with Lockwood), but I think my favorite poem in the whole book was "The Father and Mother of American Tit Pics".
