O

Swedish poet Judith Kiros''s widely-acclaimed debut stretches boundaries of genre, race, and gender in an alternative production of Shakespeare''s Othello that sidesteps black death for a multitude of futures. Taking a cue from Derek Walcott''s Omeros, Kiros employs metric verve and critical bite to add to Shakespeare a wide range of historical and contemporary works, producing a meditation on blackness that sets up a new reflective surface at every turn. O marks the first translation into English of one of Sweden''s most thrilling young poets.
