The Collected Poems of William Carlos Williams: 1909-1939 by William Carlos Williams, Christopher Macgowan

3.0

Generally, it felt like very little was at stake for most of these poems, and even with the little, WCW tended to leave them exhausted from building them up to something boisterous.

WCW’s best strength seems to be the opposite of this. Knowing his tendency for the over-wrought, the simplest of his pieces (which have little to no reflection involved) in this collection left me very satisfied haha. makes me curious to read his later work, but it might be a minute before I pick him up again.
