The Multiverse, Andrew Wynn Owen's first book of poems, sings of science, philosophy, and religion, testing the emotional valences of each. It sings in a variety of strictly observed metres and with rhyme. The poems find their way into memory as sense and sound. The Multiverse celebrates human curiosity. The poet is an enthusiast-for the visible world, for scientific and philosophical excursions.
"'A remarkable display of formal dexterity through which a wide sweep of thought is captured.'"
Daljit Nagra
"'Raspberries for the Ferry exhibits unusual technical competence, and contains poems which suggest depth as well as dazzle. Whether or not the writer continues to work in metrical forms, the foundations are firmly in place for some interesting future development.'"
