“An introspection of subjects, rather than of self, is the delicate enterprise of Jan Owen’s fine new collection.  A poet whose interests are as wide as the world itself, she celebrates other people, other times, places near and far, touching points of incidence as diverse as saxophones, tektites, Hungary and the Very Rich Hours of the Duc de Berry.
A finely considered inspection of fragility and transience is balanced by a sophisticated confidence in Faulkner’s dictum that the past is not dead:  it is not even past.”
