- Book Synopsis
- In the dark poetry of her newest collection, Sue Owen reflects on the devil's dreams, the hammering of the last nail in a coffin, and the brilliant death of a shooting star. Owen turns proverbial sayings (in Getting to the Point, Until Hell Freezes Over, or If the Other Shoe Drops) into fully developed parables that examine and elaborate upon the assumptions we all make. This is a cookbook with recipes that instruct, where hell becomes a kitchen of wisdom and insight. The heat in these poems reminds us of the evil in our contemporary lives and challenges us to look straight at it, without fear.
