Review Excerpt:

The poet in “The Fractured World” builds a palpable world of stadiums, cellars, bathrooms, closets, stairwells, guns, hand grenades, corpses, KFC, Winn-Dixie, “nighthawks dancing in and out of darkness.”

Nothing pretty. But read between the lines, and you see Owens-the-poet making sense of a senseless, fractured world.
