Formerly a British Judo champion, Owen Lowery suffered a spinal injury while competing and is now a tetraplegic. Owen’s first major poetry collection, Otherwise Unchanged, was published in December 2012 by Manchester’s Carcanet Press, and includes poems touching on the subject of warfare and its effects, art, literature, history, and music, as well as momentous and moving poetry of a more personal nature. Owen’s latest collection, Rego Retold, will be published in January 2015, and celebrates the pictures of internationally renowned artist, Dame Paula Rego, combining the artist’s images with the poems that Owen has written in response to them. Owen will be reading poems from both collections.
“A remarkable collection, combining technical poise and an expansive intellectual range.” The Guardian (on Otherwise Unchanged)
