Redundant Ruminations of a Hand Well Stroked

In Redundant Ruminations of a Hand Well Stroked, the latest book of prose by St. Augustine's resident poet and Florida Keys novelist, William Williamson brings to the page, ruminations on writing as well as timeless observations and recollections from the past and present. His work is shaved, naked and direct. Everyday humanity swathed in the existence of ordinary life. A stripper dancing for dollars, a divorcing couple hooking up for sex, a trip to a pawn shop, a hospital visit, ordering a pizza. Ambiguous moments in life that sears the conscious creating consequential memories that serve a lifetime. What Williamson has dubbed, big woman emotion. Big woman emotion is what life hands us, on any given day or night of the week. Big woman emotion is what time hands us any given hour or mercurial minute of our lives.

William Williamson is the author of SOME CAME FIRST and SOME CAME AFTER, the first two novels of his Florida Keys trilogy. The third novel, SOME CAME NAKED has a publication date for 2017. His short stories have been previously published in three Key West anthologies, Once Upon an Island, Beyond Paradise and Mango Summers featuring new Key West authors.
