Here is a selection of some of Arkansas poet Miller Williams' books as a poet, translator and editor.
Of his 2009 book Time and the Tilting Earth, Joel Brouwer in The New York Times said: "In poem after poem, he mingles the low and the high in both form and content, bringing a sense of cleareyed practicality to life's big questions and a keenly honed poetic technique to the cadences of Arkansas porch talk."
