The 97th winner of the Yale Younger Poets prize This year’s winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is Loren Goodman’s Famous Americans. Hilarious, eclectic, and bizarre, this collection takes the reader on a roller coaster of a ride through the absurdities of American pop culture. Employing a variety of forms (from epistolary to script to interview and beyond), this work proves to be as much about exploring frameworks as it is about examining the lives of famous and not-so-famous Americans. Goodman questions our concept of what it means to be an icon: he disrupts our assumptions, creating an alternate universe in which nothing remains sacred.

“Goodman’s debut is pyrotechnic, polymathic, and wild as a naked deb on a skateboard.”—Carol Muske-Dukes, Los Angeles Times Book Review“Often amusing, always smart, Famous Americans makes for an impressive debut.”—Carrie Etter, Times Literary Supplement“Famous last words for this terrific book are hard to come by but one such would be ‘Wonderful!’ Loren Goodman has made a veritable masterpiece out of leftover formulae for writing quite other stuff indeed. Famous Americans ismy kind of people.”—Robert Creeley, author of Just in Time, Poems 1984–1994
