Kathleen Ossip – Live Reading and Reception


On Sunday, September 25 at 4:00 pm, the Katonah Poetry Series launches its Fiftieth Anniversary Season with a reading by Kathleen Ossip, a favorite on the Westchester and New York City poetry scene. Kathleen Ossip has authored three volumes of poetry, a chapbook of poems on movies (Cinephrastics) and The Status Seekers, a verse play.   Her debut collection, The Search Engine (Copper Canyon, 2002) was chosen by Derek Walcott to receive the American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize. The Cold War (Sarabande Books, 2011) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and appeared on their 100 Best Books of 2011 list as well as the American Academy of Poets list of Notable Books of 2011. Ossip’s most recent collection, The Do-Over (Sarabande, 2015), was a New York Times Editors’ Choice.

Admission is a $10 donation/adult; students free. Doors open at 3:30 pm. For further information and to read interviews with the poets, please visit www.katonahpoetry.com. As always, a Q&A, reception, and book signing will follow the reading.
