"Irresistible," wrote Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott when he
selected Kathleen Ossip's The Search Engine for the Honickman Prize
from more than 1000 manuscripts. "You feel like quoting her,"
Walcott continued, "because she is . . . so fresh and so open."
Ossip's poetry is word-rich and music-lush, infused with fastidious
hilarity and a genuine intelligence. It is a poetry of nerves, with
a hunger for subtlety. She admits her influences easily, using pop
songs and academic quotes in a self-confessed, even parodic search
for her voice. As Richard Howard remarks: "An astonishment, this
first book, and what a comfort!"
"Kathleen Ossip "teaches at The New School. Her poetry has
appeared in "Best American Poetry "and "The Paris Review." She
lives outside New York City.
