The Program

Bag om The Program

Third Place Winner, Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In PoetryFinalist, Dorothy Livesay Poetry PrizeIn this powerful, intimate collection, a young woman travels between Paris and New York to pursue a career in modelling. Alternating between the world of fashion, where "it's no longer enough / that the sample size fits," and the eponymous Program, a place to "discover / what's underneath," Jones's debut collection pulls the reader deep into the realms of psychiatric care and romantic relationships and probes a long tradition of female suffering.Taking inspiration from New York school poets such as Frank O'Hara, Jones employs an unadorned and at times funny narrative style that also calls to mind the work of Sheila Heti and Sally Rooney. Summoning images from the worlds of fashion, art, and therapy, and exploring the allure of pain and of suffering, The Program is a compelling debut about how we are seen, and how we see ourselves.
