Trouble Lights
Traveling from the rural Midwest and Chicago to the outposts of Cornwall and Guangzhou, William Olsen searches for the miracle of wholeness in small details. An urgency inhabits his poems as they lament and protest a pandemic disrespect for all things natural and the replacement of such with material progress. It is his distinct awe for our universe that offers hope for retrieving all that is being lost.

The present is the heart of this poem,
a hole in the heart the size of the heart.
The present is heartless.
The present is too much of a disgrace for one heart.
