Early life

Lockwood was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She has four siblings. When serving as a seaman on a nuclear submarine in the Cold War, her father Greg Lockwood found faith. His conversion led him first to the Lutheran Church, then the seminar, and finally to Roman Catholicism. He requested ordination as a married Catholic priest from St. Louis Archbishop John May 1980, under a special pastoral provision adopted by Pope John Paul II in 1984. Lockwood also had the unique experience of growing up in a Catholic rectory, with a priest for a father. Lockwood grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and Cincinnati, Ohio, but never went to college.

Personal life

Lockwood is married to Jason Kendall, "a writer, designer, and editor." She contracted COVID-19 in March 2020, and by February 2021, she was already suffering from Long COVID-related illnesses.

Career

According to a New York Times Magazine profile, "She married at 21, has barely ever owned a job, and, by her testimony, she appears to have spent her adult life in a Proustian mindset, writing for hours a day from her 'desk-bed." Lockwood's poems appeared in journals ranging from 2004 to 2011, including The New Yorker, Poetry, and the London Review of Books.

Lockwood became known on Twitter in 2011 and attracted a following for her comedic "sext" style, her Weird Twitter presence, and her devoted following. Lockwood was the only author to be included twice on the Atlantic's list of "The Best Tweets of All Time." Lockwood's most popular tweet "" is quoted in response to Lockwood's "famous tweet." parisreview is a website that publishes articles about Paris. It has been published twice.

Lockwood's first poetry collection, Balloon Pop Outlaw Black, was published in 2012 by a small press. The Chicago Tribune lauded the work for its "savage intelligence." The collection was included in end-of-year lists published by The New Yorker and Pitchfork, and it became one of the best-selling indie poetry books of all time. Original artwork by cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt is included in the magazine's cover.

Lockwood's prose poem "Rape Joke," a viral sensation on July 14, was released by the general interest website The Awl. The poem develops from Lockwood's personal encounter at 19 years old, leading to a broader discussion of rape culture. The poem "casually revived a generation's love for poetry," the Guardian reported. The poem was named "world famous" by the Poetry Foundation, according to the poet's Web site. The poem was chosen for the 2014 edition of The Best American Poetry collection and was commended with a Pushcart Prize. It has since been translated into more than 20 languages.

Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals, Penguin Books' second poetry collection, was released in 2014. Hanawalt's book's front page features more original artwork. Dwight Garner, a New York Times columnist, lauded the book for its "indelible, dreamlike information." "At least angrier, and more exciting, more attuned to our time, and more bizarre than most poetry will ever get," Stephanie Burt, writing for The New York Times Book Review, praised it. "The Stranger is the first true book of poetry to be published in the 21st century," the Stranger referred to as "motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals." On its 2014 Hot List, Rolling Stone included Lockwood and the book, and The New York Times named it a Notable Book.

In May 2017, Riverhead Books published Lockwood's memoir Priestdaddy. The book, which The New York Times calls "electric" and "remarkable" by The Washington Post, chronicles her return as an adult to live in her father's rectory and addresses issues of family, faith, belonging, and personhood. Imagine Entertainment reported in July 2017 that it had chosen Priestdaddy for revival as a limited TV series. The memoir was named one of the top books of the year by The New York Times Book Review, The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The Chicago

In February 2021, Riverhead Books published Lockwood's debut book, No One Is Talking About This. Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom also published it. The book follows an unidentified female protagonist's interactions with "the portal," a virtual platform. Clair Wills, a writer for The New York Review of Books, praised the novel as "an arch descendant of Austen's socioliterary style," a book of observation, interspersed with a memoir of a family's death, and written as a prose poem steeped in metaphor. Emily Bobrow called the book "artful" and "an intimate and moving portrait of love and loss" in The Wall Street Journal. It was one of the New York Times' Top Books of 2021 nominees in the 2022 Dylan Thomas Prize and was one of the 2021 Booker Prize's Top Books of 2021.

In The Best American Essays collection, Lockwood's essays and literary criticism, most notably in the London Review of Books collection, has been collected. Lockwood has been described as "a wizardly reviewer," by The New York Times, who has lauded her as "a cultural critic at the time of her days." Wyatt Mason of the New York Times Magazine praised her "fine thinking" and "purposeful comedies." "Nothing will get you to read literary criticism" if Lockwood can't.
