More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Frances Williams' arresting new collection whisks the reader on a whirlwind tour of postmodern paraphernalia, touching down in Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Australia and Greece, and ruminating with grace and flair on such diverse personalities as Isaac Newton and Elvis Presley. Williams' dazzling wordscapes resuscitate a language that has become overloaded and over-used - her images and rymes make the reader look at the world from a refreshingly different place. These are poems of great range, each one bejewelled with a cut and colour characteristic of Williams' assured style.
From the Back Cover
The poems in Wild Blue are the product of a restless and inventive intelligence. Capable of ruminating with grace and flair on such diverse personalities as Isaac Newton and Elvis Presley, Williams moves confidently between the metaphysical and the modern, combining a delight in abstract ideas with sensuous physicality. This new collection proves the early promise of her first book, Flotsam, published when the author was just nineteen.

Williams goes where others fear to tread,

This review is from: Wild Blue (Paperback)
Reading Williams' poetry you are deftly transported into unknown space and time. Her craft, crafty, her humour incorrigible. She captures you in a moment, draws you in close, tells you a secret and you, wide eyed and thrilled can't wait to hear. Delicious.
