The Goner School by Jessica Laser
2025 Griffin Poetry Prize, FinalistJessica Laser has given her generation a voice and a name in this masterful, funny, and heartbreaking collection, The Goner School. Members of this school, despairing and hopeful, count themselves among the self-aware, trauma-informed inheritors of a warming, warring planet. Childhood, the gym, plant medicine ceremonies, PhD programs, Jews, evangelicals, everyone you've slept with, Lake Michigan, the Bay Area, William James, and Taylor Swift may seem incongruous, but they all take place in one world from which, try as we might, there is no escape.
Laser, Jessica: - Jessica Laser grew up in Chicago. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, she has taught at Brown University, The University of Iowa, Manhattanville College, Parsons School of Design, and SUNY Purchase. She is pursuing a doctorate in English at The University of California, Berkeley. SERGEI KUZMICH FROM ALL SIDES is her first book.
