Osel’s latest chapbook Dispatches from the Third World was published this Spring (in time for National Poetry Month) and was inspired by a trip to Thailand in April.  The 23 poems were written and edited and published in a span of two months.  He had visited Thailand before and went a second time to specifically write this book.  He was there for less than a month and wrote nearly 40 poems there.  The poems in Dispatches were selected from that material.
Even though the chapbook is less than 40 pages, it still packs quite a punch.  Most of the poems are
serious reflections on the poverty and prostitution and politics in this third world country; however, there are a few that are unintentionally funny like “A Real American” where he tells a tuk tuk driver he’s from Canada and the the driver asks, “what is a Canada?” and “Conversation with Monk at 7-11.”  The most profound poem in the collection is “Dispatches from the Third World” where Osel admits that he thought about not writing the poem out of respect to the “proud nationalistic people” of Thailand but found that he could not ignore the truth about young Thai prostitutes.
