2nd edition - You now hold in your hands the second edition of my first book Laments of the Madman. Ahh such joy!!! Thank you for purchasing this book and I hope that you enjoy this updated version. Originally, when this book was in the making, I just wanted to publish something anything and used a variety of poems that I had typed or scanned over the years. There were a lot of errors that I needed to correct but I never had the impetus to actually correct them until now. 1st edition - Opening up new worlds, Derrick Williams takes the reader on a journey to the brink of madness and back. However the danger is always near and there is a constant struggle to not fall into the abyss. The laments are some of the saddest, happiest moments of the poets life laid bare. From slashing his wrists to the glory of love, there is much to discover. So take a journey with the writer and discover the poet Williams and yourself inside the Laments of the madman.
