AT ODDS WITH THE FLAVOR OF THE UNION is the latest book of work by the seasoned poet and Florida Keys novelist, William Williamson. One hundred and twenty prose poems that dwell into the life of a character named Charles. A caricature of us all who searches for the word, the line, the way in love and sex that is often as blurred as poetry and prose when the two come together and produces a bastard child that is as pure as the ingredients feeding a tempest into a roaring, howling life, climaxing and ending in a surrender of peace when all energy is consumed, leaving its breath exhausted and extinguished like the sudden, unexpected treat of a comet in the dark night sky. Brilliant, fleeting, beautiful to behold and gone, a brief moment of wonder and awe left to a memory we carry with us until the living, turns the present into the past, and we walk away, searching for what comes next.
