Prikryl is the author of The After Party, named by the New York Times one of the Best Poetry Books of 2016. Her poems have appeared in the New Yorker, the London Review of Books, Paris Review, and the New York Review of Books, where she is a senior editor and the poetry editor.Coffee and tea served.
