Latest News: the secret book of god Wins 2007 Best Poetry in Texas Award

January 28, 2008

Robert Bonazzi, critically acclaimed author and Poetic Diversity Columnist for the San Antonio Express-News, announces Ric Williams’ the secret book of god as the best book of poetry by a poet living in Texas in his 2007 Poetic Diversity Awards. These awards intend to bring recognition to significant books that have been overlooked. Previous winners of the Poetry in Texas award are Paul Christensen (Hard Country, Thorp Springs Press) and Naomi Shihab Nye (You & Yours, BOA Editions, Ltd.).

Bonazzi praises Williams’ ability to take “the lyrics into intuitive depths” and the way that he “strokes colors with a vivid sensuality.” Bonazzi calls the poems “passionate,” and he finds in them both celebration and the author’s own self-critique.
