Synopsis


Praise for Richard Williams' Helga:

Williams' range, depth, and downright virtuosity are rarely matched: "how beautiful / he is she / says & / she is / a mirror / never veiled." —John Cutaia

Helga is about living life as it can be, and is meant to be lived––in awareness and love, in wakefulness and dreaminess, in togetherness and autonomy. There is a sense of dwelling on the horizon, peeking over, never giving in to fear, never tumbling out of the magic and fullness of being. —David Jewell, editor of Raw Paw's Mind Maze

This gentle, loving book—of moments and moment—is a layered fountain, fashioned to replenish. There is beauty in art with purity of purpose; these poems and photos cleanse and vivify us, as they invite us into a joy at once private and eternal. —Michael Fitzgerald-Clarke, Townsville, Australia

If you believe poems are prayers, join Richard Williams on his knees “pulling the petals of time apart,” singing “I have but one thing to do today, be in love.” —James McGrath, author of At the Edgelessness of Light, Speaking with Magpies, and The Sun is a Wandering Hunter

Wedded to the immediacy of a 21st century affair of the heart, Williams’ short line lengths are pointillist jabs at our consciousness; qualia jell into complete thoughts and we are left with our own array of impressions to consider. —Michael Gilmore, author of Reckless Astronomy

Williams says, “he loves more than what is found,” and that only “I fear not being real.” We are reassured, however, early on in “psalms” that “what you truly need / will never leave.” —Connie L. Williams, author of Dancing Backwards in Texas

À propos de l'auteur

When Richard Lance Williams (Ric) was editor of the Litera section of the Austin Chronicle, he used his column to publish poems submitted by readers, along with a weekly observation that ended with "More Poetry!" He edited Aileron and other literary journals, edited books, taught writing seminars, encouraged writers to keep going, organized public events, and hosted poetry readings. Ric was proud that, compared to other cities, there was nothing too pretty, boring, or academically inbred going on at Austin readings. Ric and Helga live in New Mexico.
