  Poet Scott Owens will be featured in two public readings in Hickory in October at Hickory Public Library and Catawba Valley Community College. Owens is the 2008 Visiting Writer at CVCC. He is the author of four books, is the co-editor of Wild Goose Poetry Review, and coordinates the Poetry Hickory reading series.
  
  Owens will appear in free public programs at Patrick Beaver Memorial Library on Thursday, October 23rd at 7:00 p.m. and at CVCC on Wednesday, October 29th at 11:00 a.m.
  
  Owens has had 285 poems published in journals across America, including Beloit Poetry Journal, Kansas Quarterly, Poet & Critic, and Southern Poetry Review. His four books are The Moon His Only Companion (1994, CPR), The Persistence of Faith (1995, Sandstone Press), Deceptively Like a Sound (2008, Dead Mule), The Fractured World (2008, Main Street Rag), and the upcoming Book of Days (Dead Mule, 2009).

  In his book, The Fractured World, Owens' poetry reflects on the issue of child abuse. Owens was himself a victim of child abuse and lived in a family that moved frequently when money was scarce. North Carolina Poet Laureate Kathryn Stripling Byer wrote, "The irony in these often bruising poems is that the winner in this game becomes the lost one, the numbed and empty one who moves through his world either enraged or numbed. Scott Owens has given us a powerful, disturbing look at our contemporary fractured world."
