Most recently, William led the Black Pearl team to a 3rd place finish at the 2007 Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam while finishing 4th overall as an individual. He has currently completed his sophmore poetry CD, “Measure” which is a follow-up to his debut release, "Living in the Hour Glass" from June '06. Will is one half of the two-man show with 2007 Individual World Poetry Slam Champion Ed Mabrey entitled: ed. will. speak that will begin touring in the spring of '07. "There is one universal truth- we all dream. Therefore, we all have wishes. The question is, can you turn your wish into passion? Lacking capacity (those who can't), these people sit in mute outrage awaiting disasters.""In the absence of natural disasters they try and create disasters. They hate the people whos lives, whether successful of not, are pursued with passion. First they idolize them, then they want to destroy them.""They want to appropriate the vitality of those people."
