Infinite in Finite

'This is precision-engineered rhymed verse. At first glance it looks old-fashioned, as does some of the vocabulary - "go forth" - but we soon realise that rhyme itself operates as a limit, a finite, which can paradoxically lead to an infinite, as it echoes into the distance. It is this that enables Owen to link the two traditions, and to find the infinite not in a god, but in that which we recognise through the senses: love, animals, clouds, rewilding, and in the making that is poetry and art.' Philip Terry, The Guardian
'It was a tall order to follow the astonishing combination of formal control and conceptual openness of Andrew Wynn Owen's acclaimed debut volume The Multiverse. But Infinite in Finite is just as exhilarating and as imaginatively rich as its predecessor. It is hard to think of a poet of our time with greater reach and talent or a collection of poems of such sheer interest and quiet wit.' Bernard O'Donoghue
'This is a vibrant collection by a fine young poet, full of energy and wit. It explores belief in God, love, life and the power and obstructiveness of language, how we know and what we know. It does all this in tightly rhymed stanzas.' Jonathan Timbers, The High Window
'My favourite collection of 2023 was Andrew Wynn Owen's Infinite in Finite for its combination of technical adeptness and emotional heft. It is a joy.' John Clegg, London Review Bookshop
