 Karen S. Williams, Pushcart Prize and NAACP-Image Award-nominated poet and writer, Karen S. Williams was selected a 2009 Debut Poet by Poet and Writer's Magazine, the nations most respected magazine for professional creative writers and featured on public radio's Weekend America program. She is author of two collections of poetry published by Detroit's Willow Books: the award-winning, Elegy for a Scarred Shoulder, and Marine Life: A World in Poems. Her third book, a children's and adult fable on the power of prayer, The Blessing Chair, will be published in 2011 by Aquarius Press. Considered a deeply visionary writer, Karen is known for writing that brims with spirituality, musicality, and a perceptivity to issues of emotion, faith, history, the natural world, and culture.
JOMLP: Why does "reading rock" for you? Karen S. Williams: Compelling reading affects our life climate. Perhaps we need rising sun, refreshing rain, cooling winds or brisk snow... The right book offers weather we need. JOMLP: Who are your literary mentors? Karen S. Williams: Though I've studied with many fine writers, God is my chief mentor. He inspires and guides my creative processes. I wouldn't be writing without him. JOMLP: What are you trying to achieve with your writing? Karen S. Williams: I see it as a creative planting and watering of inspiration, questions, story, vision, and desire for personal growth. It's rewarding to shape another's perspective. |
