Jerry Williams

Admission Jerry Williams 1st edition

In this collection of poems, Williams employs elements of both the narrative and surrealistic lyric?addressing subjects as diverse as family, alienation, political quandary, and artistic desire?in order to craft a darkly humorous and generally hard-hitting vision of the current state of contemporary America. In the words of Bob Hicok: "This is not the misanthrope's attack but the lover's hope for something better and true: a genuine self, a sustaining culture."
