In her groundbreaking and most politicized collection, Kathleen
Ossip takes a hard look at the U.S.A. as it now stands. She
meditates on our various responses to our country-whether ironic,
infantile, righteous, or defeated. Her diction is both high and
low, her tone both elegant and straightforward. The book's crowning
achievement, its anchor, and its centerpiece is the poem "July." In
a generous fifty pages, Ossip recounts a road trip from Bemidji,
MN, to Key West, FL, with her daughter riding shotgun. Inspired by
images that flick across their car windows and nurtured by intimate
conversation and plenty of time to think, the poem has an
entertaining cinematic sweep. There are poems based on bumper
stickers, the names of churches, little shops. Traveling tests her
beliefs, and Ossip fully discloses her doubts and confusions. Ossip
is an unconventional, mighty magician with words.
