Shadows Trail Them Home is a compelling novel in poetry, an important contribution to the cultural canon of American life, presented in an engaging but disturbing context.
“Scott Owens and Priscilla Campbell create characters by reading our souls, create scenes by framing the pictures that live in our memories, too raw to remember, too vivid to ever completely ignore, and in these poems, they have a die-hard nonfiction writer turning pages as fast as possible to see what happens next. I didn’t know poets could do that. Scott Owens and Pris Campbell can.”
—Shari Smith, author of Gunpowder, Cowboy Boots, and Mascara
