Owen’s perceptive reports on the business of living resonate with humor, energy, and wisdom.
From the poet’s birthplace in Graceville, Minnesota to California horse tracks, from New York apartments and the Connecticut countryside to the Colorado mountains, Owen’s perceptive reports on the business of living resonate with humor, energy, and wisdom. Full of news and gossip, bulletins on science and art, memories of love and loss, these poems are superb collages of the myriad erosions that strengthen and shape our lives.
