After this I think he's my new favourite poet. I've had to go and order all his other collections.

The poems are all so well put together that they make it all look really easy. Poetry such that you don't notice you're reading poetry, it just feels like relaxing into some poignant reminiscing. Gently played all my emotions and made feel really content.
The Accident is short and is all about a dropped catch.

I came across this in a bookshop in Wantage in January 2008. The poetry of William is so accessible. I remember the `anti-carsick chain/hanging down behind, that was supposed to/earth the static electricity' and the `nitted bathing trunks' (I had some - not impressive to girl friends) and the `anti-invasion groynes'.
