nothing bad to write . I loved it.I am hoping for the next one to come out, if any.

Poetry made easy to understand

Williams’s voice and inflection are a perfect match for this subject matter.
I was first introduced to him in the CALM app through The Poetry Pharmacy. His story is not only true but so clever. Passion put to good use!
I will devour any book he narrates!!
