4.9/5 (22425 ratings)

Description:Poetry. "The road in Johnathon Williams's thoughtful first collection, THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS, is a road that runs through rural western Arkansas, and the speaker is not on it. These poems are to Arkansas what Robert Frost's poems are to New England: they are poems deeply rooted in a physical place, with copperheads, locust shells, and blackberries; kilns, pork rinds, and Walmart, too; and they are spoken by a colloquial voice that calls mud wasps 'dirt daubers, ' refers to the mentally challenged as 'retards, ' and commands dogs to 'turn loose' when their jaws lock on something they shouldn't. Williams explores a primal darkness and isolation, using the constraints of blank verse and the sonnet to order the chaos of a difficult life and quiet what would otherwise be unmanageable feelings. Ultimately, he shows us the frustration and clarity of vision that come when one physically and emotionally stays put."
