Jena Osman

Description:

Winner of the 1998 Barnard New Women Poets Prize The poems in Jena Osman's first volume embody the poem as performance, revealing the tensions between narrative coherence and Brechtian self-consciousness, and our constitution by "characters" of all types. Playful, mysterious, and challenging, *The Character* is for anyone interested in the inscription of power by means of language.
