Synopsis

In his third collection of poems, George Owens has expanded the range of narratives to our entire country. These sequences examine experiences along the American road of life - from the quiet of meditation (President Coolidge in the year before his death) to humor (a Kansas girl collecting ticks). It is a journey worth our time.
