b'Patricia Lockwood is a poet and essayist. Her new book is Priestdaddy: A Memoir.\\n\\n \\u201c[Prose writing is] strange to me as a poet. I\\u2019m like, \\u2018Well I guess I\\u2019ll tell you just what happened then.\\u2019 But the humor has to be there as well. Because in my family household\\u2026the absurdity or the surrealism that we have is in reaction to the craziness of the household. So something like your underwear-clad father with his hand in a vat of pickles, sitting in a room full of $10,000 guitars and telling you that he can\\u2019t afford to send you to college\\u2014that\\u2019s bad. That\\u2019s a sad scene. But it\\u2019s also totally a lunatic scene. It\\u2019s, just the very fact of it, all these accoutrements, all the elements of the scene\\u2014they are funny.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to Audible and MailChimp for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n@TriciaLockwood\\nLockwood on Longform\\n[00:00] Stoner\\n[01:00] Priestdaddy: A Memoir (Riverhead Books \\u2022 2017)\\n[02:00] readthissummer.com\\n[02:30] How To Be a Person in the World (Heather Havrilesky \\u2022 Doubleday \\u2022 2016)\\n[02:30] Heather Havrilesky on the Longform Podcast\\n[09:15] Balloon Pop Outlaw Black (Octopus Books \\u2022 2012)\\n[10:00] Wave Books\\n[10:00] Octopus Books\\n[10:15] Black Ocean\\n[11:30] "The Dark Mystery of Emily Dickinson\\u2019s \\u2018Master\\u2019 Letters" (Nicholas Rombes \\u2022 The Rumpus \\u2022 May 2011)\\n[12:00] Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals (Penguin Poets \\u2022 2014)\\n[20:15] Lockwood\\u2019s Jonathan Franzen Tweet\\n[20:45] Lockwood\\u2019s Paris Review Tweet\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
