HICKORY — Poet Scott Owens enjoyed a busy and rewarding year during 2022. The Hickory man's 17th and 18th books of poetry, "Worlds Enough" and "Prepositional" were published, both by Redhawk Publications, and he received two awards for his work and was nominated for numerous others. "Pansies," a poem about the unassuming, often taken-for-granted but cold-weather-hardy flower named in the title and metaphorically about people and ideas of the same sort, was recently selected for a NC public poetry program called Poetry in Plain Sight.
