2002 Winner
The American Poetry Review /Honickman First Book Prize in Poetry

Kathleen Ossip for The Search Engine

Selected by Derek Walcott

Beginning in a high-rise hotel and ending with a quasi-mythic suburban idyll, The Search Engine scans a dissonant, saturated environment. Kathleen Ossip’s poetry is word-rich and music-lush, lively, witty, and sharp. She deftly records the immediacies of life, interior and exterior, domestic and worldly, here and now.
