Join us to celebrate the release of Will’s new book “Adding Saffron”

Adding Saffron loosely traces its author’s life over the last ten years, but autobiographical events are not the focus of the poems so much as they are incidental facts. “Attentiveness is the natural prayer of the soul:”—so quipped Nicolas Malebranche, and that axiom underlies this collection. Often prayer-like in their tone, composed of meticulous observations, these poems are studies in the art of attention.
