  "The Rose Tattoo as Comedy of the Grotesque"--Brian Parker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Williams begins "The Meaning of The Rose Tattoo" by saying that the play celebrates "the Dionysian element in human life" (55); and it is this that most critics have elaborated on.
Williams was under constant pressure to make Tattoo an unambiguous comedy, and when the play opened out-of-town in Chicago, his old friend Donald Windham reports that the playwright stood at the back of the stalls counting laughs and constantly adding comic business (Windham 63-64).
According to Williams, "The meaning of the sign [of the rose] is the transcendence of life over the instruments it uses, their meanness or grandeur: that life, itself, is the hero" (qtd.

 Anthony A. Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Williams is the adopted son of Virginia and the late Lewis Williams, and is one of eight children.
Williams led the city into a fiscal recovery, which made him a popular figure; having been "drafted" by popular support, he was elected mayor in 1998, despite not having held any elected office since sitting on the New Haven, Connecticut Board of Aldermen when a student at Yale University.
Williams was instrumental in arranging a deal to move the financially ailing Montréal Expos, a Major League Baseball team, to Washington, D.C. Although he faced opposition from much of the D.C. City Council, Wiliams eventually prevailed—and in late December 2004, the Council approved by one vote a financing plan for a new stadium.

 Williams, Sherley Anne Criticism and Essays
Williams is highly regarded for her 1986 novel Dessa Rose, a fictional account of the life of an escaped slave.
Williams has described the book as "a public statement of how I feel about and treasure one small aspect of Blackness in America." Williams's 1975 verse collection, The Peacock Poems, is considered highly autobiographical and largely influenced by blues music.
Dessa Rose has also been praised for its focus on the role of women—fl and white—in the antebellum South, and discussion of the friendship that develops between Rufel and Dessa is considered central to any analysis of the story.

 On "Sea Rose"
The rose is not only a rose; it is an inescapable convention of writing that even a proposition such as "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose" necessarily invokes, if only in its attempt to negate it.
The sea rose proposes a new imagination of that convention, one that resonates with the renewed spirit.
The Sea Rose is a flower for Hermes—a creative growth in a perilous landscape—and thus a "Stunted" figure for the effaced "H.D.," a complex image holding its ground against a force which would limit it to a denial of identity as well as to the sculptural and static terms of Imagism.
