Something Knows the Moment is an act of courage. The question of faith is posed and exposed with intelligence and insight; we experience a writer trying to make sense of the incomprehensible as Owens brings a very human perspective to this vast, divine concern, making allowances for our foibles and failings. Compassion underscores his words even as he challenges the hypocrisy present in much of organized religion’s didactic beliefs and practices. This may seem far too ambitious an undertaking for one person to achieve, but Scott Owens, in a fine and seasoned voice, delivers.
