<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Alternating sections of vivid, sensuous free verse and prose form one of groundbreaking works of modern poetry. Includes the title poem, "The Red Wheelbarrow," and "To Elsie."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Heavily influenced by T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," the poems of <i>Spring and All </i>express the author's beliefs about the role and form of art in a modern context. William Carlos Williams offers an intensely stylized set of exercises in reduction that capture, in his words, "the immediacy of experiences." Sections of vivid, sensuous prose -- described by the poet as "a mixture of philosophy and nonsense"--alternate with straightforward free verse that explores the creative uses of imagination and the power of language. <br> "Spring and All," the title work of this 1923 collection, represents Williams's first major achievement as a poet, and was praised by <i>The New York Times</i> as one of the greatest poems of the twentieth century. This groundbreaking compilation also features some of the poet's best-known verse, including the modernist masterpieces: "The Red Wheelbarrow" and "To Elsie."<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>American poet William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) is closely associated with modernism and imagism. A pediatrician and general practitioner with a degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, he won the first National Book Award for Poetry with <i>Patterson.</i>
