Love and the Soul (Phoenix Poets)

In Love and the Soul's title poem, a male speaker asks "not to believe/that what lights up the world from within is always the wrong thing" and is answered by a female speaker midway through the book who says "I don't think men and women/are meant to have relationships any more." Between these poles, Williamson's powerful collection explores the enormous burden of expectation that our culture has placed on love and its gifts to the soul.

Res Publica (Phoenix Poets)

Res Publica faithfully moves from the private to the public, from individual experience to civic responsibility through an elegy for the 1960s and the world that has become our own.

The Pattern More Complicated: New and Selected Poems (Phoenix Poets)

Alan Williamson artfully joins social and literary history with personal experience in The Pattern More Complicated, a collection of his very best poems over the last twenty years. A powerful section of new poems draws the whole work together in a kind of autobiographical novel, as—in Eliot's phrase, from which the title is taken—"the pattern of dead and living" grows "more complicated" with the years.  Williamson's verse is a refreshing examples of how delicately the personal can intersect with the public in a love for the considered life.The Pattern More Complicated assembles Williamson's most important, representative poems, marking the trajectory of poetic development and the recurrence of themes across the span of four previous collections to present a survey of a major American poet in a single volume.

This study shows Lowell as a modern epic poet, political in the largest sense. In his career from 'Life Studies' onward, Lowell's self-examination has become the direct and conscious basis, through analogy, for his understanding of the irrational behavior of statesmen and masses. Mr. Williamson argues that Lowell's poetry has moved toward a psychological vision of political behavior akin to the later Freud's. Through this vision, Lowell's so-called confessional or self-analytic poetry and his 'public' poetry become increasingly interdependent and must be read in light of each other.
