Essays on Alicia Ostriker
Following Scalar’s call for the unique temporality of a mindful reading practice in the otherwise restless online space, we are publishing one essay at a time. When taken as a whole, essays on this site gradually address Ostriker’s intersectionality, discussing her poetry on motherhood in the Vietnam Era, her feminist criticism and leadership in the University, her complicated relationship to Jewish heritage, and many other subjects formative to her poetic sensibility.
