‘You, Always Near’ is Pamela Warren Williams’ second collection of poetry, this time an evocative celebration of the circuitous route of love, shared with the late poet, Stewart S. Warren. These poems may be engaged emotionally, intellectually, or spiritually, in following one poet’s journey to find a voice equal to the task of telling this story through poetry’s work of retrieving the original ecstasy. Included are the joys and endless laughter, the mysteries, divine moments, and the dog’s accompanying magic. Newly revealed coping skills emerge in the light and dark of transition as ultimately does the required resilience in reassembly of the newly solo sojourner, with the gifts that remain.
