"Moonburnt arcs with the sweep of the search to find one's place; both within the world, and within oneself. Roy Williamson has travelled - from the Western United States to the Northeast and to Europe. The poems record his internal and external journey: the desire to become finally whole. Poignant, moving, these poems transfix the page in fluid quest and cadence. A beautiful achievement."

"I presented Roy Williamson at George Whitman's Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. for his first reading in Europe - and again at Attica Bookshop in Paris. Williamson is an example of the raw Iowa-grown poet, unlike those over-academic fried minds that workshops for writers more often produce.
Roy remains as raw in a classical U.S.A. way as bib overalls, pancakes and Gary Cooper. He is a new voice, a graduate of the Hippism of 'blown-mind' info a roller skating research internationalist."
