Poetry. Winner of the 4th MMM Press Poetry Book Competition. "Few debut collections claim the confidence of Susan Settlemyre William's. With immense technical swagger and a nerviness that never overpowers her considerable empathy and elegiac tenderness, Williams investigates both the domestic and the strange. She is above all a spiritual writer, and-like the best such writers-understands that gnosis arrives as much through desecration as through piety. ASHES IN MIDAIR is a stirring, engrossing, and haunted book"-David Wojahn. Williams is also the author of the chapbook Possession (Finishing Line Press 2007). Her poetry has appeared in Mississippi Review, 42opus, Shenandoah, Sycamore Review, the Marlboro Review, and diode, among others. Her poem "Lighter" won the 2006 Diner poetry contest and was selected for Best New Poets 2006. She holds an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and is book review editor and associate editor of Blackbird.
