Poetry. A survey of the life's work of one of America's most
original avant-garde poets and playwrights."Rochelle Owens's
writing is sui generis, brilliantly inventive, immensely learned,
sophisticated, and witty in its conceits. She is, in many ways, a
proto-language poet, her marked ellipses, syntactic oddities, and
dense and clashing verbal surfaces. Hers is a universe of stark
gesture, lightning flash, and judgment, a poetic microstructure in
its superb modulations of rhythms and internal rhymes, its ironies
and paradoxes. In its uncompromising savagery, its passionate
rejection of sentimentality, Owens's lyric voice is unique among
contemporary poets. An astonishing body of work."--Marjorie Perloff
