Captive

The collection features a speaker who navigates the haunting remnants of memory, potentially reflecting the experiences of a former soldier or interrogator. Through vivid and feverish imagery, the poems explore themes of captivity and the intertwining of time and place, creating a dark yet mesmerizing tapestry of emotions. Recognized with the 2011 De Novo poetry prize, OOtt's work invites readers into a profound exploration of the psyche and the shadows of the past.
