LG WILLIAMS's place among the great emerging artists of this last decade is firmly established. These thirty-two poems, written over a period of six weeks, show conclusively that his work is remarkably original, versatile and powerful. He writes poignantly of things he cherishes - art, women, sex, drugs and rock-and-roll. Whatever his subject, he addresses it with an artist's resonant sophistication, a scholar's precision, and the persuasive powers of a great poet. This volume has been selected by Jenny Saybaugh, literary critic and one-time visiting professor at the University of California, Davis. "To read LG is not to agree or disagree with his strange sensibility, but rather to enter the enchanting moments of a fertile imagination." - Don Ryan, Surfer. "Ranging from near to far, these remarkable passionate writings...function as a savvy handbook into one of the best minds of a generation." - Wally Hedrick, Artist.
