'Reimmersion is the second poetry collection from Canberra poet Tony Steven Williams. Within its pages, the reader will find an eclectic assemblage of poems paying particular emphasis to the human condition and our environment with some science fiction, fantasy and fun thrown in to lighten up the mood. Sadness and joy, romance and hostility, ignorance and care, survival and denial, they're all here, narrated with the skill of a poet who is also a short fiction writer, who loves to tell stories, who paints with words. Tony's recent passion for Japanese poetry styles complements and weaves through the free verse, song-like, twisting with imagery and sideways allusions. This is, indeed, a book for immersion and reimmersion.' (Publication summary) 

'Tony Steven Williams, a Canberra poet, describes his maiden poetry collection Sun and Moon, Light and Dark as ‘not unlike our journey through life, where we constantly steer through the contrasting dimensions of sun and moon, bitterness and sweetness, feast and famine, steepness and gentleness, life and death, freedom and persecution, joy and sorrow. Such are just a few of the dualities that dominate our human existence.’ In these refreshingly multifarious poems are to be found ‘small clusters of like-minded pieces of meandering content such as narratives, travel, observations, moods, ekphrastic comments and outright fun, reflections on how life works - a voyage through the light and the dark’.'  (Publication summary)
