Praise for Thoughts & Prayers
"Emotionally searching, historically and formally attuned, Thoughts & Prayers makes moving poetry out of America's grievous addiction to gun violence, 'bullets loosed... to claim a promised land in the flesh.' Owen Elphick is a poet of ambitious imagination and empathy, of real and substantial gifts."
– Daniel Tobin, author of Blood Labors and From Nothing
"With textured language and an adept use of line, Thoughts & Prayers confronts the epidemic of gun violence in America through poems that fiercely and courageously imagine us into the roles of perpetrator, witness, and victim... Owen Elphick’s voice is sensitive and assured; his poems ambitious and accomplished."
– Christine Casson, author of After the First World
