The Character1999
About this book
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.
