“Reading these poems, it’s evident that John Sibley Williams is a poet with complete control. The texture of his lines is rich and precise. The syntax demands attention and participation. As readers we get the pleasure of untangling each sentence, each line, into not just meaning, but an accumulation of surprising language and images. The speaker in these poems says, I’m not sure how to explain myself / to myself. These poems don’t falsely posture with knowledge, but rather, present us with a catalog of curiosities, a longing to understand all the things we are afraid to name.”

"Australia was bigger than he'd imagined’. Sid is an American tourist on honeymoon with his beautiful wife, Charlene. The ramifications from an accident while en route to their hotel prove to be greater than Sid can imagine also. Self-centered and detached, Sid shows little emotion after hitting a dog on the road. Charlene by contrast is visibly upset and expresses concern. The accident in "Accidents" highlights the underlying tension and division between the couple and triggers an intense, unpredictable and revealing journey."

COGITATE 11 - "Eclectic"
Revolution, not confusion. Disruption, not disorder. This episode's three poets are as different as different can be, so get ready for a bit of everything. Tongo Eisen-Martin is a brainiac, American Book Award-winning poet who can gas the mic or ease up on the pedal; Amos White is a haiku artist whose precise poems are paired with jazz by Dillon Vado; and July Westhale will break your brain - and make you thank her.
Music accompanying Amos White: "Look Up" by the Table Trio, featuring Dillon Vado on vibraphone and marimba; Jeff Denson on bass; Hamir Atwal on drums. "Bring Back the Color" by Never Weather, featuring Dillon Vado on drums; Justin Rock on guitar; Tyler Harlow on bass; Aaron Wolf on alto sax and Josh D. Reed on trumpet.
