The After Party

fullDescription

"A truly moving book." —John Ashbery
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.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker
   • content: "Remarkable. . . . Unusually vivid. . . . Brilliant and funny. . . . A sensory autobiography that examines tragic material with a friendly scrutiny. . . . Language in this enchanted book sometimes seems to have an independent intelligence."
2. • premium: False
   • source: David Orr, The New York Times
   • content: "Prikryl's debut is a gratifying demonstration of (among other things) the warmth and wit of poetry's formal architecture."
3. • premium: False
   • source: Charles Simic, The New York Review of Books
   • content: "Delightful. . . . Marvelous. . . . The poems in The After Party have a quality of attention, a presence of a probing intellect alert to the strangeness of our lives as well as our own estrangement from ourselves."
4. • premium: False
   • source: Joel Brouwer, The New York Times Book Review
   • content: "Potent and pleasing. . . . A poet's debut elevates the everyday and nods to influences from the past. . . . Jana Prikryl's readers will quickly discover such rueful humor is typical of her understated sensibility . . . . Prikryl is most fascinated by the unpredictable zigs and zags of an imagination in motion, and language's laughable (but reliably amusing) incapacity to map that course precisely."
5. • premium: False
   • source: Neel Mukherjee, The New Statesman
   • content: "Jana Prikryl's first volume of poetry, The After Party, announces a wholly original talent. The voice is labile--at once witty, wry, astringent, funny, wise and unfathomable. This collection is full of surprises. In her hands, form is an endlessly malleable thing. I felt pure exhilaration reading it."

     June 20, 2016
     In her astute debut, Prikryl speaks confidently of and from the in-between places of the world and the people almost relegated to scenery in memories. Throughout the book, the idea of narrative’s assertiveness becomes a driving force. Prikryl asks, “If I say this in the tone of a photograph/ will it inject you with the feeling/ I felt in that place?” The collection’s first half offers glimpses into the temporary, replete with scenes of immigration, intergenerational relations, and waiting for others. The series that makes up the book’s second half helps contextualize the first. These poems revolve around nearly forgotten islands of “pink-complexioned rock” that “defy photographers,” celebrating the idea of a place that “had its uses/ at one time, its maneuvers” but even now, when observed, requires a kind of “wringing concentration.” One of the section’s narrators, Mr. Dialect, is part retired dandy, part Greek chorus. He watches from his houseboat, Never Better, with “His very mood/ an index/ of gestures that the artist/ oversteps.” As Prikryl probes the shortcomings of being conscious of the nature of observing, she maintains a lively tension and gets her readers to ponder as well: “What we are most/ easily seduced by must/ tell us something/ about ourselves, but what/ if it tells us only about everyone else?”
