All of this is to say that Lockwood is very much of the internet but also, perhaps, our guide to moving beyond thinking of the internet as a thing apart from real lives and real art.
But it also succeeds-and continues to succeed-as a work of literature. This poem seems, in retrospect, to have been perfectly calibrated for a moment when people-mostly young or youngish, largely online-were asking themselves who gets to talk about what and how. In 2013, Lockwood achieved a new level of web-based fame when “Rape Joke” went viral. Lockwood first made a name for herself on Twitter: So is Paris any good or not.” Such was the acclaim of this 2013 tweet that the Paris Review felt compelled to respond to it-a year after it was first posted-with a review of Paris. Debut novel from the internet-famous poet and author of the memoir Priestdaddy (2017).
