In Prepositional Scott Owens highlights the preposition as a metaphor for shared humanity, and with an engaging playfulness, he explores human relationships and the world at large, drawing upon a rich mosaic of life experiences. Owens parses our connections, “As you are a part, I am a part,/and though we can be just one,/ we are always also many,/ and we can never be completely apart.” Brimming with artistry, Prepositional also displays our universality: “Where I come from/ is the same place you come from…” Throughout the book subtle humor abounds, bringing text and subtext into play: “Without prepositions it’s hard to imagine/ where we would end up.” Prepositional sweeps the reader on a rollicking journey in lyric landscapes of language, where “So much of who we are/resides there – between the lips/of any human mouth.”
