內容簡介
Though Scott Owens wasn't born and raised in Catawba County, you would never know it by his poetry-so intimately connected with our county that you see and feel the images all around you as you read.
He loves our country roads, small-town shops, crazy Hickory streets, open vistas, and iconic landmarks.
His poetry, complemented beautifully by Clayton Joe Young's photography, takes the reader on a trip through our Foothills home-and what a pleasure that journey is!
- Austin Allran, Author of The Legend of the Isle of Cats,
Catawba County Commissioner and Former State Senator
'Round Here is a testament to the beauty and significance of Catawba Valley. Through the harmonious blend of poetry and photography, Scott Owens and Joe Young invite readers to immerse themselves in the essence of this place - our home! - to appreciate its history and the embedded connections forged between its people and the land. It is a celebration of the enduring spirit of a community and a tribute to the power of "place."
- Louise Humphrey, Retired Director of the Hickory Public Library
Not the dry history of when and where, these poems and images do something miraculous; they connect us to the past in a sensory way. William Faulkner once wrote about the past not being dead, in many ways not even past, and Scott's pen and Joe's eye demonstrate how such is possible. Their stellar work has made local history accessible in a new and vital way.
- Richard Eller, Author and Catawba County Historian
As a lifelong resident of Catawba County, this book of poems and pictures has magically transported me to the time of my youth. I read Scott's words and look at Joe's photos, and I'm a small child again. I reminisce on my loving Ridgeview Community. I remember my family working at the Howard Johnson's on Highway 64-70. My soul is further stirred remembering how I met my wife here, raised my family here, and embarked on a career in Law Enforcement here. Overpowering in its beauty, this collection of poetry and striking images captures the soul of who we are and where we come from.
- Steve Hunt, Retired City of Hickory Law Enforcement officer
