Xlibris unveils These Audacious Maples, a book of poetry by Paul O. Williams

written April 30, 2007

Xlibris releases These Audacious Maples, a book of poetry by Paul O. Williams. A collection of 98 poems written in the tanka form, this book takes on different subjects and is the first of its kind from the author.

Tanka originated from China but was adopted as a form of love poem by medieval Japanese nobility. Williams, who has been a writer and publisher of 45 years, has inclined recently towards the use of tanka as an economical form of poetry. These Audacious Maples shows this inclination as the author uses tanka to comment on 11 various subjects.

These Audacious Maples is foreworded by Michael Dylan Welch with a short introduction by Williams himself.
