69 Poems on a Sundog Day - William Williamson - Bog

Bag om 69 Poems on a Sundog Day

69 POEMS ON A SUNDOG DAY Is a new book of poems by the author of SOME CAME FIRST, SOME CAME AFTER and SOME CAME NAKED, William Williamson's three novels comprising his Florida Keys trilogy. These poems, written during a two-week span while staying in a hotel room in South Florida, William wanted to sketch the wind and have the body of work move like water with the end of each poem flowing into the next poem, so the reader hears the words, as William first heard them. Williamson's poetry is clean, stark and direct. Colloquial observations in his life and the world around him, as well as ruminations on writing. His work is always significant in the way he moves poetry to make lyrical beauty with words. Williamson calls it big woman emotion. Big woman emotion is what we feel. Big woman emotion stirs the mind, ignites the loins, and conquers the soul. It brings forth life to all of us. Without big woman emotion, we suffer, such is life, we wither and we die on the vine. Williamson's work casts traditional poetic prose to the wayside. His poems are naked and shaved with a contemporary edge and pulse, reminiscent of the Beat poets during the fifties that he admired. But it was the work and poetry of Charles Bukowski, the Los Angeles poet, during that same era, who gave the finger to the Beat Generation because the scene bored him, which struck a kismet chord, inspiring William to search for the line, the way, the word and move poetry into minutes of prose, exposing big woman emotion. Big woman emotion is what life hands you, on any given day or night of the week. Big woman emotion is what life hands you any given hour or minute of your life.
