Over the past few years, a writer rose from the depth of
struggles with illness and complications in his life. Often he has attracted
controversy, dislike or even hatred over his work. Yet his style is as raw as
his talent. Many would easily argue that it is my job to glorify William Craig’s
work or that being a personal friend of the author, I would obviously cover his
work with the best of my opinion but in all honesty, even I find some of his
pieces difficult to read or even appreciate. However there is no denying the
truth behind his views or even the fact that the honesty in which the poems are
written bring questions to the mind as we read.
Many pieces are available to read online, in fact should you
enter the title of the book soon to be published into a search engine, you
would find various examples of what controversy the author often faced. What
author worth the reading doesn't have such controversy at some point of their career?
Soon “wilstonegreen” will be published. A book that one day
will become a classic. No matter what the main opinion about the author is, the
quality of the work is out of the bounds of the general poetic scope. There is
something about the collection that will keep you going reading whether it is
the raw emotions inked in each line read, the honesty that is encapsulated
within the work or the openness in the views and experiences shared with us
readers, it will keep you reading until the last word, often leaving you
wishing there was more to read on the work.
Now I will invite you to visit the Facebook page, there you
will find a few samples of William Craig’s work.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
Laurence Ramos.
