This book is a compilation of song lyrics Owings has written over the past fifty years. Without the music, the words and meaning stand on their own for the reader to judge as a work of art. The goal in presenting the lyrics as poetry is to evoke a response from the reader, good or bad, in agreement or disagreement, etc., without the music or melody line interfering.
About the Author
A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Frank N. Owings, Jr. is an independent scholar and song writer. As an academic, he has written articles and books for the Keats-Shelly Memorial Association, the Indianapolis Museum of Art (now Newfields), the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Kansas State University, and Indiana University.
As a songwriter, his music has been called poetic rock. The lyrics to some of these songs have been gathered here into this collection of verse. As a student of the arts, he has been influenced by the thoughts and works of John Keats, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
