The poems about family and the natural world refuse the reductive and often reach into the vatic. They luminesce. They are speculative yet confident, as in "Looking Back." Rich, sonically textured, beautifully wrought, these are poems I will read and re-read for years to come.

Autorenporträt
James Owens grew up in the coal-mining country of Appalachian Virginia, attended King College, and worked as a reporter and editor on newspapers in the region, before studying poetry at the University of Alabama and receiving an MFA in 2002. He now lives with his wife in a small town in Ontario, along the north shore of Lake Huron, where the winters are long enough to make the summers precious. He has three children and two step-children, all grown, and spends as much time as he can in the woods and near the water. Of his writing, he comments, "I try to negotiate a balance between the ecstatic possibilities of language and nature and the hard-edged boundaries of the moment." He has published widely, including three previous books of poems: An Hour is the Doorway (2007), Frost Lights a Thin Flame (2007), and Mortalia (2015).
