	On "The Red Wheelbarrow"
		In fact, although published first, "The Red Wheelbarrow" appears to be the result of an experiment in imaginary translation that Williams performed on "Brilliant Sad Sun," translating it from a narrating representational painting to an abstract minimalist one.
		In "The Red Wheelbarrow," therefore, the central image is still a vessel bearing water, spring rainwater that falls on an outdoor setting similar to the suggested one in "Brilliant Sad Sun," with white chickens.
		In sharp contrast to the cool, white, softly round chickens, the red wheelbarrow is flaming and angular.

	THE WILLIAMS-SIEGEL-DOCUMENTARY, Including 'Williams Poetry Talked about by Eli Siegel, and William Carlos Williams ...
		I have talked lengthily on "The Red Wheelbarrow," which is an anthology piece now, but as Williams says (he uses cuss words very often), that doesn't mean a damn—it is still good, whether it's printed a hundred times.
		But giving it red takes the eternity of the circle (the circle does stand for eternity—it is represented in the old legends by the snake with its tail in its mouth) and gives it motion.
		The red wheelbarrow, of course, is still a wheelbarrow; then it's glazed with rain—which means that the roughness of the world, the ordinariness of the world, has taken on a polish.

	[minstrels] The Red Wheelbarrow -- William Carlos Williams
		From: "mike maguire" I feel that the red wheelbarrow is the most simplistic poem that says the most in my experience.
		From: Jim Petreszyn Her is my take on Williams "Red Wheel Barrow." It is not merely the image of the wheelbarrow that is important here, but our own ability to imagine.
		From: "The Akey's" I think that the red wheelbarrow is a symbol of death and the red is blood of slaughtered chickens that were carried in the wheel barrow, just look at the original writing of the poem each sentence is broken up and the shape of the sentences resemble an axe.

		The red wheelbarrow was screened in 1984 as part of TVNZ's 'Kiwi shorts' series; Divided attention was screened in the Wellington and Auckland International Film Festivals in 1993, and was part of the City Gallery 'Alter/Image' exhibitions (1993/1994) in Wellington and Auckland for Women's Suffrage Year, The films are obtainable directly from the filmmaker.
		Williams gives us his wheelbarrow sooner, so that the rest might almost seem to follow from it, whereas Sutherland's wheelbarrow might be said to bring her material together, making those seemingly disparate images cohere.
		However much The red wheelbarrow may suggest that we have sold our unreal dreams (as the film seems to be saying via its fragmented images of letters and words that flash in front of us), its social commentary is not apocalyptic--except that the urban landscape in The red wheelbarrow is unpeopled.

		A few weeks ago, the inestimable Julie of Lone Prairie Blog posted this poem in one of her “Google Gadgets.” I commented that I loved the poem, and I believe Julie said that it was the word “glazed” that got to her every time she read the poem.
		One blogger has this to say: William Carlos Williams once wrote that “so much depends upon a red wheelbarrow, glazed with rainwater, beside the white chickens.” And he was an idiot.
		Therefore, it could be said that the whte chickens symbolize a utopian society, where everyone is innocent and clean, where as the red wheelbarrow symbolizes the contrast between beauty and violence; red representing blood and war.

		Red Wheelbarrow covers a wide variety of subjects, including politics, art and, oh yes, business.

		If we string these lines together to make a sentence—So much depends upon a red wheelbarrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens—we can understand the poverty of this sentence as it tries to be a poem.

	The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams
		I've always considered this poem as an illustration of the fact that poetry is meant to mean what it means to the person who looks for meaning in it...
		In other words - the poet himself may have had quite a specific situational context for the red wheelbarrow that none of us are aware of (or maybe not, who knows?), but that does not take away from the fact that to me it means 'XYZ' and to Caitie Lamon it provides a Koan.
		The wheelbarrow is man-made, the rain water is God-made (or whatever you believe- the important thing is that it cannot be imitated by humans), and the chickens are domesticated animals.
