Dear Excavator
by Evan D. Williams, with art by JC McCarthy
Praise for Evan D. Williams
“Dear Excavator addresses the earthy boom and dip between ‘the high beams of Volvos’ and ‘transparent ocean flowers.’ What remains is unclean with joy.”
– Samuel Clare Knights, PEN Award-winning author
“Part sour dream mash, part metaphysical disquisition, part tinker’s time machine, all lifeline to the jugular sublime austral light in the tradition of William Christenberry and Walt Whitman.”
– Ed Bok Lee, American Book Award-winning poet
“The ice caps bleed and the forests burn and Evan D. Williams cradles another poem, wet and copper-scented, a spring lamb born in the fall.”
– E.D.W. Lynch, creator of Yelping with Cormac
“A hope dream partially remembered, a vision quest, a revelation, real, surreal, gorgeous, masterful.”
– Mary Gauthier, Grammy-nominated songwriter
“A tender dispatch on all that spoils and prospers in the living Americana.”
– Freddy Dewe Mathews, artist and author of Bouvetøya
“The perfect collection to disappear into.”
– Elizabeth Greenwood, author of Playing Dead
