Synopsis
This is the paperback edition of the first of Carcanet's monumental, definitive two-volume edition of Williams' Collected Poems, including all his verse apart from his major long poem 'Paterson', also available from Carcanet. Thom Gunn described this volume as 'an ideal edition'. The poems are printed in the order of their original publication, starting with 'The Tempers' (1913) and ending with 'Poems 1936-1939'. The appendices include notes on the text, annotations and the original contents pages of the earlier Collected editions, as well as a full index of titles and first lines.

About the Author
WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS (1883- 1963) was the great American contemporary of those other great American poets who went to Europe - Pound, H.D. and Eliot (for whom he felt a settled aversion). Staying at home, pursuing a serious medical career alongside his poetic vocation, Williams came to epitomise the other modernism which sought to build an American poetry out of American English and, as it were, in the teeth of traditions received from abroad. He wrote plays, novels and major prose works (in particular, In the American Grain) as well as poems.
