Patricia Lockwood (born 27 April 1982) is an American poet, novelist, and essayist. Her memoir Priestdaddy was named one of the 10 best books of 2017 by The New York Times Book Review. In 2021, her debut novel No One Is Talking About This was released to critical acclaim. Her poetry collections include Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals, a 2014 New York Times Notable Book. Since 2019, she has been a contributing editor for The London Review of Books.
She is notable for working across and between a variety of genres. "Your work can flow into the shape that people make for you," she told Slate in an interview in 2020. "Or you can try to break that shape."
Kirkus Reviews has called Lockwood "our guide to moving beyond thinking of the internet as a thing apart from real lives and real art."
