As this urgent, genre-defying book opens, a woman who has recently been elevated to prominence for her social media posts travels around the world to meet her adoring fans. She is overwhelmed by navigating the new language and etiquette of what she terms "the portal", where she grapples with an unshakable conviction that a vast chorus of voices is now dictating her thoughts. When existential threats--from climate change and economic precariousness to the rise of an unnamed dictator and an epidemic of loneliness - begin to loom, she posts her way deeper into the portal's void.

Father Greg Lockwood is unlike any Catholic priest you have ever met - a man who lounges in boxer shorts, who loves action movies, and whose constant jamming on the guitar reverberates "like a whole band dying in a plane crash in 1972". His daughter is an irreverent poet who long ago left the church's country. When an unexpected crisis leads her and her husband to move back into her parents' rectory, their two worlds collide.

Poetry. Even all by themselves, the titles of Patricia Lockwood's poems reveal the sort of surreal, enigmatic, rhetorically- longated world her sensibility inhabits effortlessly.

Padre Greg Lockwood è diverso da qualsiasi prete cattolico abbiate mai incontrato: circola per casa con i boxer, adora i film d'azione (con molta, moltissima azione), il suo frequente accanimento su una chitarra elettrica genera un rumore simile a quello di "un'intera band che muore in un incidente aereo nel 1972". Sua figlia Patricia è una poetessa non esattamente ossequiosa, che da un bel pezzo ha abbandonato la retta via della Chiesa. Ma quando una crisi inaspettata la costringe a tornare insieme al marito nella canonica dove vivono i suoi genitori, questi due mondi inevitabilmente si scontrano.
