The poems explore how grief (re)shapes belief and how death (re)shapes memory. Readers of Frank Stanford's poetry might find a kinship between his and Bowen's depictions of menace in the world, particularly in the rural South, where violence patiently waits to be useful to someone. Bowen's poems are stark and terse, eschewing any poetic impulses to repaint the world as anything but a demoralizing series of crushing disappointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eASH BOWEN taught creative writing at a number of universities, including the University of Alabama, Minot State University, and, most recently, Arkansas State University-Queretaro, Mexico.
