"Williams has found an ingeniously indirect method for dealing with powerful and conservative voices in Trakl criticism, a method that unburdens the debate of its weighty pomposity and elicits delight from readers familiar with the critical context."_Francis Michael Sharp, author of The Poet's Madness: A Reading of Georg Trakl 1993. x, 350 pages.
