Novella / Short Story | Women's Fiction | Fiction Poetry
Jana Prikryl’s THE AFTER PARTY journeys across borders and
eras, from cold war Central Europe to present-day New York
City, from ancient Rome to New World suburbs, constantly
testing the lingua francas we negotiate to know ourselves.
These poems disclose the tensions in our inherited
identities and showcase Prikryl’s ambitious experimentation
with style. “Thirty Thousand Islands,” the second half of the
collection, presents some forty linked poems that
incorporate numerous voices. Rooted in one place that
fragments into many places—the remote shores of Lake Huron
in Canada, a region with no natural resources aside from its
beauty—these poems are an elegy that speaks beyond grief. Penetrating, vital, and visionary, THE AFTER PARTY marks the
arrival of an extraordinary new talent.
