Böcker av Clarke Owens

In these vibrant poems of nature and identity, Owens exhibits a true talent for imbuing natural detail with authenticity, layered meanings, and austere beauty. But Thaw is so much more than that; it's also brimming with deep longing and the kinds of contrasts that speak to larger human truths. Filled with rich and accessible language, these poems are intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging, written by someone with clear eyes and an open, curious heart. -John Sibley Williams, author of As One Fire Consumes Another
