Description
Walk With Strangers by Stephen Williams
Poetry of light rising from the abyss
Walk With Strangers is a collection of contemporary poetry by Welsh author and poet, Stephen Williams.The subject matter of these poems is diverse, thought-provoking and frequently controversial. The collection includes poetryof place, hope and death, gay love and sex, mental health and manic depression, death, old age and illness, politics, povertyand homelessness. Sometimes satiric, often gritty and biting, the work is never gratuitous. Writing in a contemporary form,Williams has also published his own interpretations of the traditional poetic forms of the Villanelle, Haiku, the Rondeau andSonnets.Williams's voice is rarely integrated, always standing outside of a social group or society itself, watching and rememberingbut never becoming a part of it. Most days we only talk in silence, he says, like strangers wearing coats, about to leave... All the while, though, we feel he would prefer to be Licking Jack Daniels from your mouth or meeting with a well-hung boyin some shop but he remains on the outside, waiting for an invitation that never comes, remembering only what might havebeen as he sees the truth told and the cold coffee going stale on the counter.This single author anthology includes poems brought together into a single volume for the first time. The Look Inside featurewill allow you to read the first pages of this provocative and varied collection.
