First impressions are everything and poet C. L. Williams does not fail to make an impression with his eighth book of poetry, The Paradox Complex. The overall structure of the book, rather than the poetry itself, generates questions. While the cover design is clever in it's presentation of earthy tones on the front and more celestial purples on the rear, the use of playful fonts for the book's title and titles of the poems, the marking of some pieces as lyrics without directing readers as to which those are, and the excerpt for a future prose piece at the collection's close derails focus from what is most important: the poetry.
