Poems and the tales they inform are this sort of wealthy solution to achieve the center of items. Such are the paranormal tales of Joe Williams’ booklet, Heaven, Hell and Magical Soup.

Joe is a singer, songwriter, performer, condo builder, and holder of sacred rite. i've got had the excitement of understanding him for the reason that he performed and sang on the memorial provider of a friend’s brother.  I bought even higher familiar whilst he did a few upkeep and renovations to my home.  We began with a really small record to which I stored including till he had labored for me for what sounds like the entire summer season. i'm sharing this simply because Joe made even upkeep effortless. and that's a feeling that comes flowing out of the tales and poems during this assortment. now not that a few of the tales don’t have a chew to them, a bit squirm simply because he indicates the part of ourselves that we love to faux isn’t there.

His characters are Ragmen. The Ragman is a personality Joe plays from which he extracts the darkish underbelly of society. Ragman tells of that position we desire no longer recognize. The outdated girl pushing a purchasing cart of all her assets; the soiled having a look fellow keeping up the signal trying to find paintings, or nutrition, or gasoline for his motor vehicle; the one-legged warfare veteran together with his cap out at the sidewalk accumulating swap that will be sufficient to shop for a bottle of inexpensive alcohol and enable him omit the horrors for a night.

Buddha and Christ appear as their actual selves, reminding you they honestly intended all of the teachings they gave. every one Ragman deals a rag, a bit of torn fabric signifying whatever torn from him, as society tears items from us all. after which they fade away into the evening, again to their actual jobs, being the place we don’t anticipate finding them.
