Praise

In a land where FEELINGS shared is a transgression, we get propelled onward! If Elizabeth Murray’s promise that the subconscious is what we paint about, then Maureen Owen’s promise is by the poems. Always there first, as Freud said, “Where I go I find a poet has been there before me.” Imagine Sigmund meeting up with the latest Owen book. “We think we look back / we just look outside / surface that is a state / of meringue / holiness that is a condition independent / of deity….”
