About
“In our world of history, poverty, violence, and discontinuity, Owens locates the hinge moments, as seemingly inaccessible to observation as they are resistant to words, where revelation is possible again, even as it too stands as a sacrifice to time. I have read few younger poets today who have such a will to transfigure the ordinary. James Owens has both the will and the art to show us that such transfiguration is another name for knowledge.”
