Primal Elements: An OWS Ink Poetry Anthology

by J.K. Allen, Matthew Wilson, Rebecca R. Pierce

Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. The raw force of these elements is truly phenomenal, but can these extraordinary poets harness their power? What happens when you give poets an open call to write about the elements? You get a diverse array of poems that touch on everything from loss to the celebration of life, passion, and long lost memories, to the feeling of being at home in a storm. Though each poet wrote about these same five elements, each tapped into different themes and emotions, creating a well-rounded anthology that has something to offer to everyone. OWS Ink Anthology collection brings you themed poetry from the brilliant minds of J.K. Allen, A.F. Stewart, Dorothy Tinker, Anna Schoenbach, Ed Ahern, Janet McCann, Ynes Malakova, Karla Linn Merrifield, Kerry E.B. Black, Matthew Wilson, Rebecca R. Pierce, and Stacy Overby. From the lyrical to the concise, from odes of joy to the desolation of war, you'll find your next favorite poem in these pages. Grab your favorite brew and settle in to explore Primal Elements today.

About the author

JK Allen wrote her first story when she first learned how to write and hasn’t looked back since. Common writing themes that can be found in her work address identity, everyday magic, and the type of strength that can be found in ordinary people. Several of her short stories and four poems are featured in anthologies. Angelborn is her first novel in her debut series with Heavenfire continuing the journey. She is currently working on the trilogy as well as several shorts, while researching for a new series in the works. Her reading tastes are as varied as the genres she enjoys writing, from Jane Austen to Diana Wynne Jones. When she’s not writing, you can find her painting, drawing, or lost in another world between the pages of a book. Or on Facebook.

This collection is a brilliant way to see how other people look at and perceive nature and the elements all around them. A good set of poems to get you thinking.
