Crisis Chronicles Press is happy to announce the publication of dual chapbooks by Erie poetry icon Cee Williams on 27 July 2013.
My America features 9 poems on 20 pages in which Cee riffs on the state of our "Union" with passion, compassion, insight, an appropriate snarl when necessary and a keen sense of humor in the midst of it all to leaven the loaf perfectly. Poems include "Troop Zero," "Yellow Ramparts We Play," "Parental Indiscretion," "Jerry's Kids," "You Picked a Fine Time to Spank Me Lucille" and more. My America comes ready to eat and promises to satisfy the most ravenous poetic hunger.
Bus Riders in the Storm is quintessential Cee Williams, reimagining the lines between poetry and flash non-fiction with a 6 pack (on 20 pages) of full-bodied and thirst-slaking wordworks. Highlights include "Jesus Loves Ketchup," "Why Tony Hated Me" and the ROTFLMAO mock epic "I Am Lesbian." Bus Riders in the Storm also features a cover image by camera queen Chandra Alderman. Be sure to stay properly hydrated through the hot summer daze by ordering your copy today.
