During our Rumpus Poetry Book Club discussion with Jena Osman (edited version here) we asked her to send us a collection of links that pointed to a few of the topics she was mentioning, as well as any others that might interest her. What follows are Osman’s Network links:
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Dictee.
Leslie Scalapino. One of my favorite books of hers is Defoe. She also has a “detective novel” called Orchid Jetsam that is great. Here’s a brief excerpt.
My piece remembering Scalapino is at the site Delirious Hem.
Kamau Brathwaite, Trench Town Rock.
John D’Agata, The Next American Essay.
Lyn Hejininan, “The Rejection of Closure.”
An online version of my poem-essay “Public Figures.”
