C.L. Williams (formerly Luke Wood) returns with a new poetry book, The Paradox Complex, which is his lightest book to date. Even though we as humans possess qualities that can be contradictory, we are still good at our core. The Paradox Complex has poems about acceptance ("Flawed Masterpiece"), reflection ("Anonymous," "Move Backwards (To Move Forward)") and inspiration ("Heroes Need Heroes," "Reverse Role Model")
"An inspection of the multi-dimensional state of humankind, Williams' introspective and emotionally honest poems, which at times come dangerously close to losing individual distinction under a mono-stylistic cloak, do provide lines that catch the reader by surprise with their raw beauty and clever word-play."
