Poetry, chapbook, 44 pages, from Bottlecap Features. we're not in a road movie the open road did not call and we did not refuse it no atonement nor apotheosis and no road back When their urban precinct is designated for removal by the Deep Belief Network, several strangers leave on foot, seemingly urged toward a lost arcadian landscape by an unreliable chorus of cicadas. Evan D. Williams investigates the quandaries of the numinous and carnal self in a range of documental forms. Dear Excavator, Williams’s first full-length book, was published by April Gloaming (Nashville) in 2021. Not All the Leopards Are Metaphors, Williams’s second collection, was privately printed in an edition of one, launched into near space, and accessioned into the University of Maryland Special Collections. Williams lives and works in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
