"Long recognized as a masterpiece of modern American poetry, WIlliam Carlos Williams' Paterson is one man's testament and vision, "a humanist manifesto enacted in five books, a grammar to help us life" (Denis Donoghue). Paterson is both a place―the New Jersey city in whom the person (the poet's own life) and the public (the history of the region) are combined. Originally four books (published individually between 1946 and 1951), the stru ..."

The Beat poets were partic ..."

"They Spoke from God" addresses the writings of the Old Testament in simple language and in a personal style that speaks directly to the reader. It not only provides the student with a basic grasp of relevant passages, it also rel ..."
"A new edition of William Carlos Williams’ loving and groundbreaking book about American history, with a new introduction by Rick Moody. Although admired by D. H. Lawrence, this modern classic went generally unnoticed during the years after its publication in 1925. Yet it is “a fundamental book, essential if one proposes to come to terms with American literature” (Times Literary Supplement). William Carlos Williams was not a historian, b ..."

Williams recalled that its biting satire targeting the corruption of the court, the church, and societ ..."

"At this point, the imagination for Williams was identified with the cubist re-
structuring of reality: modern poetry with its ellipses, its confrontation of
disparates, its use of ... Shakespeare, too, could be made to belong to the
moment of cubism."
