Poetry. "Owens' theme is that of violation - the violation of one person's space by those who want to control or absorb it, who will not let it be...Owens does not shrink from the violence and horror she finds everywhere around her and which she projects back, most convincingly, into what was supposed to be, according to Burckhardt and Berenson, the ordered and measured world of Renaissance Florence. Owens' is a universe of stark gesture, lightning flash, and uncompromising judgment: it is imperative, in her poetic world, to face up to the horror, even as the point of view is flexible enough to avoid all dogmatism" - from Marjorie Perloff's introduction.
