		Pictures from Breughel, the 1962 Pulitzer Prizewinner in poetry, is an excellent example of how far poetry has strayed from where it should be.
		This is the poem that includes Williams affirmation of the value of poetic consciousness in a politcal and social conext: It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.
		Uneven at times, as he always was, these poems reflect his later experiments with the "variable foot" and his turn towards a more philosophic tone that came after his series of strokes in the fifties.

	Williams, William Carlos
		The poem's intense focus on a single image, and its terseness evocative of haiku is considered a model example of the imagist movement's style and principles, summarized by the imagist motto that Williams coined: "no ideas but in things."
		As a young man Williams stayed true to this motto and his early poems (most of which he compiled in half-prose, half-verse pamphlet manifestos and published himself) are similarly laconic and focused on things in the world rather than abstractions.

	[minstrels] Winter Landscape -- John Berryman
		Anustup Datta (Anustup.Datta@) wrote in with a most interesting discovery: a set of four poems all based on the same painting, Pieter Brueghel's 'Hunters in the Snow'.
		Brueghel was known for his silky and delicate landscapes - his nickname was 'Velvet', as distinguished from his brother [1] Jan, who was dubbed 'Hell'.
		My other reason for choosing Brueghel is his popularity among poets - many of his works have had poetry written on them.

		In spite of strangeness of the picture, the bridge and the other objects are given a realistic treatment that actually contributes to the effect.
		On the other hand, they could form a part of the background to idyllic or bucolic scenes, where they could be used to separate spaces or form a frame.
		On the other hand, in a picture by Paul Klee, we see a number of arches which seem to have become bored with their jobs, and are wandering about all over the place.

	CONTEXT: Linda Wagner-Martin, Reading William Carlos Williams
		Most of the poems by William Carlos Williams that are anthologized today, most of the poems that people know, come from the first decade of Williams's writing--the years when he was not only unknown but, if known at all, considered some kind of wild man of American poetry.
		Other ambitious United States poets were staking their claims to greatness on the fact that they were happily derivative of British speech and language patterns: highly educated, for the most part, such American poets as Conrad Aiken, Eliot, John Gould Fletcher, Dos Passos and e.
		Williams, in contrast, wants anarchy: he creates the chaotic by misnumbering sections of his poem, inverting chapter markers, and juxtaposing the formal poems with the usually raucous prose, prose intentionally reasonless--exuberant, meandering, yet cohesive with the force of the writer's unfettered imagination.

	William Carlos Williams - MSN Encarta
		In “Asphodel, That Greeny Flower” (1955), he wrote, 'It is difficult/ to get the news from poems/ yet men die miserably every day/ for lack/ of what is found there.' Williams's ideas were basically humanistic: respect yourself and others, love those you can, and try to make the world a better place.
		Williams objected to traditional poetry that talked in generalities, such as poems that treated love, death, anger, and friendship as abstractions rather than as real things.
		Nature, represented in the poem by the Passaic River and its well-known falls, met with industry in the town of Paterson, where the falls provided waterpower to the area.

	Williams' Life and Career--by M. L. Rosenthal and Linda Wagner-Martin
		Robert Frost, of course, rivals Williams in his use of the native idiom--his poems are true to the speech and the trapped psyches of the New England country-people he knew; the dark elegiac and tragic strains running through so much of what he wrote carry it far beyond mere pastoral charm.
		The doctor-poet persona of the poem, who is himself named Paterson and lives in the industrial town of Paterson, New Jersey, leads a normal life, sees normal happenings, and learns to live with philosophical and sexual freedoms.
		Moving as far from literary convention as possible--most of his fiction is plotless--his prose was criticized by contemporaries for being artless, but later readers have found his emphasis on the basic elements of language, structure, and character essential to postmodernist work (the Minimalists, led by Raymond Carver, owe a great deal to Williams).

		Williams usually uses a kind of organic rhythm i.e., the poem is shaped to reflect the movement of thought, speech, or action in the poem.
		The breaks in the poem search out a natural pause spoken in the American idiom, that is also reflective of rhythms found within jazz sounds that also touch upon Sapphic harmony.
		His poems are true to the speech of New England country people, his environment.

		Poems written during Williams' last decade, during which he refined his measured line.
		Though superior to previous consolidations of Williams's verse, the effect of his work is still muted here; a certain sanitization takes place when the individual books are lifted out of the context of their original formats.

		I might even have dared to write poems myself, instead of jotting down first lines and then abandoning them, certain that I didn't have whatever it took.
