An intriguing unpredictability fills WilliamsâÇÖ poems, as they unfold into sensitive, beautiful musings: 'this poem may die some evening in a garden by the sea'. A hallucinatory-feel transcends the confines of familiarity as 'I was close enough / to hear colour, to see sound'. Enigmatic and thought-provoking poems.âÇÖ -Poetry Book Society Bulletin, Summer Selections 2017âÇÖAfter Economyáis spellbinding and profound.âÇÖ -Jane McKie
