Bill Howell's profile page

"Bill Howell finds a shimmer in the quotidian and turns it into poetry. With wry humour and a sharply observant eye, he shows us the drunk who rams his car with a 'luscious' crash, an elderly woman pushing her walker across a street, or a lover in bed on a summer morning. Here is the world seen with generosity, given to us by a writer who wants to be present for the whole of it." — Anne Simpson, author of Loop and Quick
