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 prose to the wayside.

SOME CAME FIRST is a gritty, coming-of-age novel set in the Florida Keys spanning the tumultuous sixties, the debauchery defining seventies decade as illicit smuggling and bacchanalian revelry renames the islands, Margaritaville, to the sobering early eighties when AIDS came aboard. Told through the maturing eyes of Conch born native, Henry Roberts, the azure coral reefs, tropical heat, colorful characters who are determined to keep their heads above water and unique history mapping the Keys, all come vividly alive.If you enjoy reading contemporary South Florida fiction, SOME CAME FIRST will tantalize you with its decadent mixture of paradise and cultural charm that surrounds and defines the Keys to this day. Henry's intimate, revealing narrative of his family's life is an eye-opening, page-turning Keys experience. Since returning from Vietnam an amputee, Henry's father, Jake, a self-proclaimed Hemingway have-not, is more at home drinking and carousing in the bars, trolling for paramours or away on the decks of fishing boats months at a time than being a faithful husband or father. Jake's drinking and infidelities keep Henry's family in perpetual limbo.Love, paucity, tragedy and death, the chowder of life ingredients that has made the Keys a living, breathing one of a kind romance for writers, poets, artists and visitors for a century is splintering Henry's family apart while the Keys is also becoming over-developed and commercialized from tourism. The landscape of the only home Henry knows is changing forever, leaving him wrestling with his Conch heritage, questioning his place, sexuality, the meaning and essence of his family and life in the Keys. Henry is discovering, like other Conch men born in the past, his reflection on the water might very well be a mirror image of those who came before him.

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.

BAR SNATCH ....William WilliamsonForty eight poems comprising snippets of conversation, observations, thoughts, the life you find in bars, saloons, cafés, cocktail lounges where people go and expose themselves to each other over beer, wine and liquor. There is nothing new here except the clarity of Williamson's words defining what he sees and feels while trying to predict the outcome. They are naked honest reflections staring back from the mirrors in the bar.All patrons bringing their charms and weapons to the stool are targets. There is no quiet surrender in Williamson's world. There is only hope, another beer and words. When enough has been said, the bartender yells last call; the clock says it's time to go and you leave for where ever the night takes you.Williamson's poems are imbibed with energy, raw emotionally and shaved of tradition. Some poems are graphic. Some may shock the reader. Some may anger the reader. And yet, some may make the reader see him or herself and smile. William Williamson's poetry is not bound by society's requisitions or preconceptions. His poems are clean, stark and direct.

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 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.
