Low

"With an exquisite ear, Chrissy Williams selects thrown-away phrases and builds them into ingenious, painful, funny and illuminating mechanisms that move in ways you don’t expect them to. The best new poetry that you will read this year." — Alan Moore, author of Watchmen [on Low]

"Laced with pop culture, from Kesha to Fleetwood Mac... Chrissy Williams’ second collection, Low published by Bloodaxe Books is a spinning Ferris wheel of sardonic improvisation and deep exploration... Williams commits no sins. The relationship between poetry and improvisation is a worthy probe and executed with a light and beautiful heart. Williams plays with time well and entertains better than most sketch comedy because there is no fear in prodding pain into hope. No forced jokes. Zero boredom. Layers of insight. Refreshing, adept, luminous, Low by Chrissy Williams deserves an ovation and hopefully many encores." - DM O'Connor, RHINO
