About The Song / The Singing wrote his translator, "CK Williams proposes anguished poetic consciousness in his own writing seeks a paradigm of reconciliation with the experience, a chance to repair. One fact observed or remembered a scene thus allow the delay necessary to understand how things are or how they were in the past. Each poem is thus some psychiatrist's couch, every story seems like a dream that needed to be purged, tested. Expression brutal decline and despair that defines an entire civilization, confessional poetry CK Williams offers El Canto a light at the end of the book is a light guide for blind navigators: from pain to ecstasy of being alive, the poet leaves us safe in the middle of the abyss, clinging to what would really matters ".
