Description:
"Irresistible, " wrote Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott when he selected Kathleen Ossips 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." Ossips 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!"
