For our series Making of a Poem, we\u2019re asking poets and translators to dissect the poems they\u2019ve contributed to our pages. Patricia Lockwood’s “Party in the USA<\/a>” appears online today. Her poems “Perfect Pussy<\/a>,” “The Ventifact<\/a>,” and “Cave Painting<\/a>” appear in our new Fall issue, no. 253.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nHow did this poem start? Was it with an image, an idea, a phrase, or something else?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The genesis of this one is almost comically literal. I was recording the audiobook for my new novel,\u00a0Will There Ever Be Another You<\/em>,\u00a0at a studio in Savannah, Georgia, and after my first session the sound engineer told me that Miley Cyrus had recorded \u201cParty in the U.S.A.\u201d in that very booth. (Why not tell me beforehand, so I could call upon her power?) On the second day, when we broke for lunch, I looked at my phone and saw that my sister had texted about an active shooter at the hospital where she works. Nothing makes you feel stupider than having just whipped off your bra in the \u201cParty in the U.S.A.\u201d booth while reading a book about your tiny little life so you can get more air into your idiotic diaphragm than your sister suddenly texting you the words \u201cWe\u2019re on lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Were you thinking of any other poems or works of art while you wrote it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was. Many details in the poem are taken from Roger Shattuck\u2019s 1980 classic\u00a0The Forbidden Experiment: The Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyron<\/em>, which had been sent to me by NYRB.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where did you write this poem? Do you have any photos of your workspace or workspaces?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have the best workspace picture that anyone could ever ask for\u2014in front of Miley\u2019s diamond record for \u201cParty in the U.S.A.,\u201d which the sound engineer referred to as his most treasured possession.\u00a0(I\u2019m dressed like I\u2019m in the armadillo Marines because comfort in the booth is paramount.) When I was through recording we took a planned trip to Key West, and I finished the poem on the back porch of our vacation rental in the early mornings. It overlooked a pool full of sun-poisoned Midwesterners in American-flag tank tops, which seemed fitting.<\/p>\n

What was the challenge of this particular poem?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The trick of this one was the balance. It was part of a sequence of diaristic poems where\u00a0everything went in<\/em>\u2014what I was doing, reading, eating, overhearing. The whole idea was to get out in the world. But it\u2019s much harder to work in an active shooter and have it mean anything, because an active shooter is by definition a nonsense element. There is something about the image of Baby Peck (a coworker) climbing into the desk with a bottle of bourbon that allows us to enter it, I think, because it\u2019s such a specific detail, such a thing that a person might do in that moment.<\/p>\n

Where did the baked potato come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The baked potato was loosely drawn from Pierre Joseph Bonnaterre\u2019s description of the Wild Boy\u2019s preferences; roasted potatoes were the first food he would accept, though he later came to eat rye bread, chestnuts, \u201cpeas, garden beans, and green walnuts.\u201d He had a little haversack that he carried with him that contained these trusted items, but I\u2019ve generalized it here to the baked potato. He also rejected alcohol and was said to sip water slowly while looking out the window as if he were drinking the view.<\/p>\n
