Poetry. From the poet's birthplace in Graceville, Minnesota, to California horse tracks, from New York apartments to the Colorado mountains, Owen's perceptive reports on the business of living resonate with humor, energy, and wisdom. Full of news and gossip, bulletins on science and art, memories of love and loss, these poems are superb collages of the myriad erosions that strengthen and shape our lives. "In Maureen Owen's perfectly titled EROSION'S PULL, words and lines map, unmap, and revamp our everyday post-contemporary geographies: ironies and ambiguities, surrealistic conundrums, kaleidoscopic comedies, puzzlements, certain and uncertain loves and losses"-Susan Howe. Maureen Owen is the editor of Telephone Books and author of ten collections of poetry. Formerly co-director of the Poetry Project, she now lives in Denver and teaches at Naropa University.
