Joyce Carol Oates once called William Heyen a “remarkable poet,” noting that he “writes with the wild, radiant audacity of the visionary.” W. S. Merwin praised “the urgency and authenticity” and the “plain directness” of Heyen’s voice.
This same voice rings true again this collection, Heyen’s eighteenth volume of poetry. The Confessions of Doc Williams and Other Poems is not to be missed!
