New York Times Book ReviewThe biggest surprise in poetry for 2011 is this second book by Kathleen Ossip. Its got everything one could wish for in a new collection of poems. . . . Its just beautiful. And terrifying. Publishers Weekly, Best Books of 2011The poet has an uncanny ability to convey what it actually feels like to be alive todayOssip is one of our foremost ethnographers of contemporary unreality. The BelieverHow do you stay in heaven? Ossip asks, Is it a kind of sophisticated rewind? Her third collection of poems is haunted by the idea of rewind, and especially by the teasing possibility that we, toolike the moon, like a plantmay be granted cycles of life, death, and rebirth. The books overarching narrative is the death of the poets stepmother-in-law, a cherished, loving, eccentric woman who returns to its pages again and again. But in spite of its focused grief and ontological urgency, The Do-Over is a varied collectionshort acrostics mourn recently dead cultural icons (Amy Winehouse, Steve Jobs, Donna Summer); theres an ode to an anonymous Chinese factory worker, three true stories that read like anecdotes told over drinks, and more. The Do-Over is an unsentimental elegy to a mother figure, a fragmented portrait of its difficult, much loved subject. Its also a snapshot of our death-obsessed, death-denying cultural moment, which in Ossips gifted hands turns out to be tremulous, skeptical, unsure of ultimate values and, increasingly, driven to find them. I am still studying, arent you? she begins. Readers will eagerly embrace the surprise, humor, and seriousness of her quest....3961974The Do-Over217282https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-do-over-9781936747986/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3932822/fefd3854-e70e-43aa-8e26-ff41f59eb5f8.jpg?v=638386095410600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20159781936747986_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_Highly anticipated book: Ossips previous poetry collection, The Cold War, received rave reviews from The New York Times Book Review, The Nation, Huffington Post, American Poet and many others.
