“For all the stylized lightning I read each year and all the false thunder I listen to, I am both happy and grateful to discover the work of James Owens. An Hour in the Doorway announces the arrival of an already acomplished poet, earth-leaning and in the strongest tradition of Frost and Wright. Like a promised rain, his voice is quiet but insistent, minute but all-encompassing and always needed.”
