Synopsis
Considered by many to be the most characteristically American of our twentieth-century poets, William Carlos Williams "wanted to write a poem / that you would understand / ,,,But you got to try hard―."
So that readers could more fully understand the extent of Williams' radical simplicity, all of his published poetry, excluding Paterson, was reissued in two definite volumes, of which this is the first."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Besides being a practicing physician, William Carlos Williams (1883–1963) was a poet, short-story writer, novelist, translator, playwright, and essayist whose contribution to the development of modern American poetry grew out of his commitment to recording the "local" experience of Rutherford, New Jersey, and its environs.
Reviews
Except for Paterson and Poems (1909), a volume that Williams himself rejected, this first volume of a projected two-volume set contains all the published poems written from 1909 to 1939, a year that Williams saw as a turning point leading to greater experimentation. Nearly 100 poems not found in Collected Earlier Poems or Collected Later Poems are included. Poems appear in chronological orderWilliams himself grouped poems thematically in the earlier collectionsand extensive annotations include early versions of poems modified later, significant textual variants, and background information. Highly recommended to scholars, this carefully edited volume will also be useful to the general reader. Walter Waring, Emeritus Prof., English Dept., Kalamazoo Coll., Mich.
