It is a very good essay Alan. I agree. The only problem I see with what Williamson writing I have seen--which is admittedly not much (just what has been posted here and on Caleb's site), is that he often seems to be clever simply for the sake of being clever. The counterfeiting poem falls into this category and he certainly approaches it with the plethora of metaphors in "Origami," though I like that poem very much. What I am most impressed by are the Double Exposures. The form is fiendishly ingenious. But I do look forward to seeing what he has to say when he is Lariating.
