Description

Jana Prikryl's third collection of poetry, Midwood Poems, explores the complexities of midlife through a series of poems that balance formal innovation with deeply personal reflection. Written over the course of a year, these poems examine love, sex, marriage, motherhood, and the natural world in plain yet urgent language. Prikryl's careful attention to the ordinary world outside her window forms an alternative measure of time, one that is both intimate and expansive. The poems feature a series of conversations with trees, which serve as a catalyst for exploring themes of identity, connection, and the passage of time. Through rapid shifts in scale and directness, Prikryl finds a new language for confronting our moment, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
