PERSONALS: Poems.
Edition: First printing.
Calgary, Alberta: Freehand Books, (2012). SIGNED first edition - The third - and perhaps the most popular - book by this award-winning Afro-Canadian author. "It is a collection of almost love poems where speakers attempt to connect across an increasingly alienating technological landscape. Williams challenges the line as the basic unit of poetry by creating rings or loops. The opening sonnet sequence, 'Rings,' which explores infertility, modifies the sonnet form from fourteen lines to thirteen (thereby falling short of the ideal) and ends in a ring, spiralling infinitely into indeterminacy." (wiki) SIGNED on the dedication page. Shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize (with a foil label on the front cover) and the Robert Kroetsch Poetry Book Award. 68 pp. ISBN: 978-1554811045.
