Jubilant Thicket
Jonathan Williams founded The Jargon Society--a publisher dedicated to poetry, experimental fiction, photography and visionary folk art--and has championed the underdog, maverick and outsider in the arts for 50 years. He has also published over 100 of his own books, pamphlets and broadsides of poetry, essays and photography. Jubilant Thicket collects the best of his poetry and teems with the eccentric, strange and boundlessly authentic--neoclassical poems, social satire, musical suites and lyrics. There is spleen, salt and a delicious -sarcasm, as Williams finds inspiration in Mahler and Mojo Nixon, Blake and whimmydiddles. There is nobody quite like Jonathan Williams: "He is one of the few ...
A Palpable Elysium
"This is a collection of extraordinary personalities captured on film in Williams's revealing, unpretentious casually evocative photographs, and decoded through Williams's intimate, often hilarious, extended captions and essays."--BOOK JACKET.

Walks to the Paradise Garden
"Walks to the Paradise Garden is the last unpublished manuscript of the late American poet, photographer, publisher and bon viveur Jonathan Williams (1929-2008). This book chronicles Williams' road trips across the Southern United States with photographers Guy Mendes and Roger Manley in search of the most authentic and outlandish artists the South had to offer. Williams describes the project thus: 'The people and places in Walks to the Paradise Garden exist along the blue highways of America.... We have traveled many thousands of miles, together and separately, to document what tickled us, what moved us, and what (sometimes) appalled us.' The majority of these road trips took place in the 1980s, a pivotal decade in the development of Southern 'yard shows' and many of the artists are now featured in major institutions. This book, however, chronicles them at the outset of their careers and provides essential context for their inclusion in the art historical canon"--Back cover.
Money
Examines the history of money, its spread and cultural diversity throughout the world, from the earliest known records of payments to the cashless money of our own day, and sets it against a background of broader economic and social issues, such as the varied moral, political and religious attitudes provoked by money in different cultures.
Classical Love Poetry
“This collection takes the best from Greek and Roman poetry, with excerpts from Homer, Sappho, Catullus, Virgil and Ovid, to name but a few, and illustrates them with some of the finest examples of Classical art in the British Museum. Images are also used from the Museum’s later European collections, a testimony to the popularity and endurance of Classical themes in Western art. With a brief introduction to the poems, and a short biographical note about each of the poets, this is the perfect introduction to the treasures of Classical literature and art.” –Front flap.
The Road to Happiness
Poetry. "The road in Johnathon Williams's thoughtful first collection, THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS, is a road that runs through rural western Arkansas, and the speaker is not on it. These poems are to Arkansas what Robert Frost's poems are to New England: they are poems deeply rooted in a physical place, with copperheads, locust shells, and blackberries; kilns, pork rinds, and Walmart, too; and they are spoken by a colloquial voice that calls mud wasps 'dirt daubers, ' refers to the mentally challenged as 'retards, ' and commands dogs to 'turn loose' when their jaws lock on something they shouldn't. Williams explores a primal darkness and isolation, using the constraints of blank verse and the sonnet to order the chaos of a difficult life and quiet what would otherwise be unmanageable feelings. Ultimately, he shows us the frustration and clarity of vision that come when one physically and emotionally stays put."--Katrina Vandenberg
Dead Men Rising
Our greatest battle today is not with terrorism, too much government, or secularism - it's our battle with sin. For centuries, scholars and students of the Word have grappled with Romans 6:1-14 and its key phrases that speak to this battle - dead to sin, old man, body of sin, slaves to sin, and freed from sin. What do these mean? What do they have to do with the battle with sin? In Dead Men Rising, Jonathan Williams (host of the Heaven and Home Hour Radio broadcast) provides an in-depth analysis of these phrases for the Christian leader searching for an accurate theological basis for holy living and practical help for the growing believer serious about obeying God's Word. This book will clea...
