The Poetry Society of America presents this installment of Storefront Poems in partnership with the Poetry Coalition, an alliance of nearly thirty independent poetry organizations across the United States.
Jana Prikryl’s latest book of poems, Midwood (Norton, 2022) is out now in paperback. Her first two collections, The After Party (Tim Duggan Books, 2016) and No Matter (Tim Duggan Books, 2019), were named New York Times Poetry Books of the Year, and her poems have appeared widely in magazines including The New Yorker, Harper’s, The Nation, The Paris Review, and Granta. Born in the former Czechoslovakia and raised in Canada from the age of six, Prikryl is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a fellowship from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She is the executive editor of The New York Review of Books.
The Poetry Society of America, the nation’s oldest poetry organization, was founded in 1910. Its mission is to place poetry at the crossroads of American life. The PSA transforms public spaces into sites for imaginative encounters with poems, engages diverse and often underserved communities, amplifies the voices of poets around issues of common concern, and honors their aesthetic contributions to our lives.
