Bright Darkness

William Carlos Williams is alive and well living and writing in Crescent City California. Bright Darkness reveals Ken Letko as Mr. Williams apparently now calls himself dancing on the edge of redwood-high enjambments. But that hardly describes his word-magic. A better way to talk about his poems comes from these lines: . . . always alive / I must navigate / in the never-ending / moment of transport . . . So his language moves and thus so do we. -John Bradley author of Terrestrial MusicWhy have I spent so much of my life trying to be like an ant nine times stronger than a human? asks poet Ken Letko in his full-length debut Bright Darkness. Thats easy. Because by striving with such strength Kens given the world his unique big-hearted worldview distilled between the covers of a book. -Rebecca Lawton author of Steelies and Other Endangered Species
