$$$ What Is It All Really Worth? $$$ In Alexander Will's second monumental poetry collection Treasury, he explores what the actual meaning of 'wealth' is and having worth through rich rhyme and real reason. Dividing the collection to three solid Acts, he uses three distinct modes of expression to approach the multi-faceted meaning of wealth. In Act I, as 'the Revolutionary', Will focuses on the value of conscious community activism to help solve the current issues of the African Diaspora such as poverty, racial injustice, and colonization. In Act II, through the eyes of 'the Broker', he departs from activism and deals with the almighty dollar and accumulating material wealth, which inevitably plunges him into the underworld of blind ambition, greed, shady situations, lust, and emotional despair. Finally in Act III, from the heightened viewpoint of 'the Initiate', his poems journey through the teachings of ancient knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and self-realization to discover the true wealth he has been missing all along. An added feature to this artistic poetry novel is the 'Treasurer's Commentary', where, just like in his previous collection Museum, Will provides the background of and insight into each piece. Overflowing with meaning, metaphor, and few moments of madness, Treasury is a lyrical luxury and a valuable investment to have in one's collection of assets.

"A Heart On Exhibit." "In Every Human Heart Paces a Lion..." The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a museum as "an institution devoted to the procurement, care, study, and display of objects of lasting interest or value" or simply "a place where objects are exhibited." In Alexander Will's debut poetry anthology 'Museum', one acquires the same awe-inspiring feeling when entering renowned institutions like the MoMA or the Louvre for the first time. With Will serving as the Curator, he guides the reader-or Visitor-on a tour through this monumental collection of poetry. Presenting each piece as a fine work of verbal art, Will showcases a diverse blend of his experiences, sentiments, and visions in an impressive range of lyrical forms and styles. Just as any great museum has an eclectic display of works, this anthology has an eclectic spectrum of topics and themes, such as wisdom, romance, socioeconomic struggles, politics, materialism, existential crisis, philosophy, religion, downward spirals, heartbreak, and enlightenment; collectively, the poems tell the tale of a tragic fall and glorious uprising of an artist's spirituality as he contemplates the trends of our modern society. Included with the collection is the Curator's Commentary, a comprehensive appendix where Will offers the background and inspiration for each poem. Wise insights, strong passions, and beautiful illustrations-'Museum' is a bold tour-de-force for any Visitor who wants genuine inspiration-or expansion of an aesthetic palate-from the art of the written word. 'Museum': A Harmony of Poetical Precision. (From Ethereality Institute Publications at Ethereality.org)

Revisited and revised, 'The Wrath of the Ashes: Second Edition' delivers a story steeped deep in supernatural mystery and brazen with themes of anger, death, rebirth, revelation, and redemption-only from the visionary mind of author Alexander Will. This is the tale of Judy Berry, a forty-something-year-old African-American poet, world-renowned and known as "the New Goddess of Love" by her fans. Underneath her picture-perfect life consisting of a radio talk show host husband Martial, her two children Zola and Rodney, and a home in an upscale New Jersey suburb, Judy secretly suffers from recurring nightmares stemming from the abortion she had as a teenager; the nightmares evoke Judy's old self that is bursting with repressed anger and trauma from what she did back then, taking a toll on her marriage and career as a famous poet. Along with a frightening firebird, a maniacal and fierce figure known only as the Ashman suddenly begins to appear in her dreams; thinking the Ashman to only be a figment of her nightmares, he proves himself to be the leader of an actual anti-abortion extremist group who somehow has knowledge of Judy's old secret and has targeted Judy for his new campaign of devastation. The Ashman starts to threaten Judy's reality by bringing death upon the people around her, one by one. As the anti-abortion group invades and wreaks havoc in Judy's town and as the Ashman's heinous crimes increase, Judy is forced to face the truth about her dark past that she has been evading for decades, unravel the puzzling enigma of the firebird, and discover a way to stop the Ashman's unrelenting reign of terror before the poet and her family become his next victims.
