Sky Full of Stars and Dreaming

“Anyone who has known and read Scott Owens’ prolific output of poetry over the past fifteen years is also aware that he takes his role as an artist and his place as a community activist seriously. This important collection finds him doing no less. While Sky Full of Stars and Dreaming is clearly set in the pandemic year just past, with its references to our “new normal,” Owens focuses his heart and eye instead on the connections to nature and family and work that provide the gravity to not just hold him in this world, but to carry hope into that endeavor.”—Tim Peeler, Author of The Life and Times of Jaysus Christopher Duende and Darrel Cobb Runkle“In Sky Full of Stars and Dreaming, Scott Owens shares a world filled with life and possibility (even during a pandemic). This living world contains natural wonders making ‘a sound as big as day’ and the wonders of human relationships. Owens reminds us that even during our greatest moments of challenge we’re still surrounded by hope, beauty, and so much life.”—Robert Lee Brewer, Senior Editor, Writers’ Market
