Owen Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Owen Hill is an American writer and poet who lives in Berkeley, California.

He is the author of seven collections of poetry and Loose Ends, a book of short stories. His first novel, The Chandler Apartments was called one of the best mysteries of 2002 by the Chicago Tribune. In his Tribune review Dick Adler wrote, “Berkeley, California poet Owen Hill captures the taste & texture of the yeasty street & bed life of his native turf with an eye that manages to be fresh & appropriately amoral." The Chandler Apartments prominently featured The Chandler Building, at which Hill resided while writing the book.

Mr. Hill is currently working on his third Clay Blackburn mystery novel. The second, Crap Sandwich, is soon to be published. He presently works as a book buyer and events coordinator at Berkeley's literary landmark, Moe’s Books.
