Review by Ron McFarland
Perhaps the question one asks oneself sooner or later about this
book is, which of these poems merit a second or third reading? For
me, most of those would come from the 20 poems entitled, The
Owl’s Ears, by Boyd W. Benson, who teaches English at WSU. “In
my heart,” Benson writes, “there is a little old lady,” a spinster,
a sort of spider-lady, but “deep down,” he tells us, “she’s as wild
as the sparrowgrass.”
