Alchemy of Scallops

About the Book

Alchemy of Scallops is a stunning book of poetry and vignettes by northwest author, Reba Owen. It will entrance all who love nature and the out of doors with wonderful images and ideas. The vignettes are full of laughter and humor that will entertain you. Mrs. Owen is very liberal so be warned! She likes to infuse her writing with temptations to learn more about nature and human foibles. Why is it that a tiny piece of flesh can produce geometrical shells from sea water, something a human is incapable of. Read and enjoy.

About the Author

Reba Owen is a Northwest poet, artist, ukulele player, and boogie boarder. Her poems and art reflect a love of nature. In this book, she hopes to illustrate the ongoing wonder that is the world out of doors. She also infuses some social comments about humans and their foibles. Reba is a 1962 graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in recreation. The book is dedicated to her grandchildren, Anna, Shane, Chase, and Nikki. In my previous book, I acknowledged all in my family, friends, mentors, teachers, fellow writers who had influenced and encouraged me. To that list I now want to add the music makers who have brought me such joy in the last couple years. You know who you are, and I love every single one of you.
