Owen Lowery Livres

An anthology of traditional nursery rhymes. It features around 20 well- known tales, illustrated by engravings.

Combining poems of historical depth, human fascination, and personal sensitivity with a willingness to explore the possibilities of poetic form and technique, this compilation produces diverse formal arrangements from Arabic, English, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, and Welsh poetry. As it aims to assimilate aspects of these traditions with the poet’s own voice, this collection pays homage to the lives and works of Primo Levi, Paul Celan, Keith Douglas, Alun Lewis, and Edward Thomas. Intimate and personal subjects are also gracefully explored, including a traumatic experience of spinal injury and disability.

Paula Rego's O Vinho [Wine] is inspired by a short story by the Portuguese novelist João de Melo. In de Melo’s short story, wine is not a diversion but a re-engagement with life, an awakening that imparts a new freedom and a fresh intensity to the narrative voice. The lead character takes us on an exploration into the "unique and delicious secrets of wine," secrets that reveal and illuminate aspects of his humanity otherwise lost in the monotony of his daily existence as an office worker. The text is accompanied by a sequence of nine images reproducing lithographs by Paula Rego, each one a story in itself, and all indicative of the transforming effects of "the colour, the soul, the profound essence of wine." Rego is also the translator of de Melo’s short story – his first to appear in English.

Owen Lowery's posthumous third collection explores the importance and fragility of life.

50 poems and paintings to celebrate the 80th birthday of the great Anglo- Portuguese painter Dame Paula Rego.

When friends Lena and Eliza hear rumours of barbaric experiments being conducted under the guise of scientific progress, they infiltrate the closed ranks of elitist, male-dominated academia to help expose the callous truth. How much will Lena and Eliza risk in their fight against intolerable cruelty? What are they prepared to lose? Based on events that shook Edwardian London society and sent shock waves across Britain, Little Brown Dog is a deeply emotive, at times humorous, and agelessly important story that resonates with modern dilemmas regarding our careless treatment of nature.
