We Two-Leggeds are not limited to a physical body. We have
capacities of perception beyond the usual five senses. Landscapes
— inner, outer — can hold wisdom, healing-energy, memory, and
teachings. A practice of attunement to the spirit of place is one
viable path for the activity of a poet. So begins Stirrup of the
Sun & Moon — a collection of poems rooted in the seasons,
landscape, ancestry, memory of place, and the churning gyre of the
soul. As you make your way through Frank LaRue Owen's third book of
poetry, you will notice two features — both inspired by customs
from early Chinese poetry — that orient and augment the poems.
Every poem (with the exception of one) was composed be read with
music and contains a liner note that includes the name of a song,
its album, and composer. Additionally, some of the poems are
place-centric and include the name and place coordinates associated
with the poem. As you travel through Stirrup of the Sun & Moon
, you will encounter poems-as-memory and poems-as-markers on a map,
inspired by such diverse places as Northern California and
Colorado, Mississippi and New Mexico. Saddle up!
