5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect browse for poetry enthusiasts, June 7, 2009
This review is from: Circus by Moonlight (Paperback)
A perfect browse for poetry enthusiasts, "Circus By Moonlight" showcases the literary verse of Mark Van Aken Williams, who has been writing poetry that addresses such diverse issues as poverty and wealth, striving and acceptance, and more. A compilation of poems created from 1990 through 2007, "Circus By Moonlight" establishes Williams as an impressive talent and skilled wordsmith, deserving of as wide and appreciative an audience as possible. The title poem is an apt representation of the quality of his free verse poetry: 'Circus by Moonlight': flanked by a quiet of night/they watch/the parade, migrating/circus figures/passing in unfamiliar/outlines of pygmy/rotundity/and ballooning-bubble-elasticity.//limp sleepers, hanging/by moon'shooking crescent,/space babies with/no planet, dangling/to the organ grinder's hypnotic spell,/while cotton candy--/cocoon, envelopes them, in sticky.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Thinkers and Dreamers, September 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have been enjoying the poetry of Mark Van Aken Williams for some time now and was delighted to find this collection of older work that I hadn't yet read.

His poetry, in this collection, ranges from complex ideas and imagery (with literary, philosophical and scientific references) to the simply sweet in the case of "Porch Swing"... we'll swing away / to another / world, you and i, / with legs / out before us, / smiling / side by side.

Great for thinkers and romantics alike.
