“Plans . . . Gang aft a-gley”

I planned to post this earlier today.  But the day has gotten away from me.  Not sure what I did.  Oh, I did go out in the snow.  It’s stopped now, but we have a great dusting.  And I roughed out a poem about that.

Anyway, I was going to post about my friend poet Scott Owens.

Another friend poet Jessie Carty interviewed Scott Owens on “Shape of a Box.”  It’s a good interview, one that shows Owens as poet, a teacher, and a promoter of all things poetry.

Before I saw the Youtube interview of Owens, from Jessie Carty at Folded Word Press, my inbox at the Dead Mule contained a message about his new blog, based on the weekly column he writes, “Musings.”

Scott Owens is the author of  The Fractured World, a book of poems published in 2008 by Main Street Rag and two online online chapbooks, “Deceptively Like a Sound” and “Book of Days,” published by the Dead Mule School of Southern Literature, as well as a chapbook that’s out of print.  He is a poetry editor for The Wild Goose Poetry Review and a teacher at Catawba County Community College.

Check him out.  He’s good.
