Millennium Maladies - William Williamson - Bog

Bag om Millennium Maladies

Millennium Maladies Is a new book of prose poems by the author of SOME CAME FIRST, SOME CAME AFTER and SOME CAME NAKED, William's three novels comprising his Florida Keys trilogy. Williamson's prose is always clean, stark and direct, at times, graphic, as he dissects life and the world around him, as well as his ruminations on writing and that holds true in Millennium Maladies where he captures the trying times and difficult situations we all find ourselves submerged in, at some point during our lives. Williamson calls those moments, those feelings, big woman emotion. Big woman emotion is what we feel when relationships fall apart, our lives fall apart and the decisions that we make in life, dictate unpleasant outcomes that we have to face, all the while knowing, life goes on in its constant struggle to make some sense of it all. 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.
