Patricia Lockwood is the author of wonderfully weird poetry collections Balloon Pop Outlaw Black and Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals. In her memoir, Priestdaddy, she turns to prose. Her father became a Catholic priest when she was young, and Priestdaddy chronicles a period when she and her husband moved back home to live in a rectory with her parents. She mixes this with childhood memories and reflections on the Catholic church and her family. The result is hilarious, unique, and irreverent. Gracious and witty as always, Lockwood spoke with me about writing her first memoir.
