Chant of the Gemini

About the Book

Presenting a new volume of poetry from the pen of Thomas William. His previous volume, Poems on Alaska and Other Planets, was very well received both here and abroad, and this new volume, Chant of the Gemini, will certainly further and enhance his growing reputation as an important American poet.

Dr. William is versatile and finds inspiration in the nooks and crannies of life, his own and others. He certainly shoots a straight, direct arrow into the heart of his poetic matter, a matter of direct truth overcoming extraneous verbosity. He is a poet more concerned with the vegetables of daily living, the potatoes and peas of life, than with its exotic orchards. Read, and you will surely enjoy.

About the Author

Thomas William is a practicing psychotherapist and student of life in all its many manifestations—ecstasy, joy, love, hatred, sorrow, grief, despair, yearning, hope—with, perhaps, a special insight into the trials and tribulations of the solitary, tormented, fragmented soul. He examines these myriad aspects of the human experience with a poet’s sensitivity to the inner reaches of the mind and all its complex machinations, striving to recombine the pieces into a sane, collective whole. His other published works include his very successful Poems on Alaska and Other Planets; his satirical novel, The Alaskan Saga of Thomas Churchill O’Brien, a comical look at life in contemporary Alaska; and his two momentous volumes of aphorisms, Perils of Wisdom and Perils of Wisdom, Book II.
