		Williams inherited her love of painting, and her influence is also evident in his use of Spanish titles and subjects, as well as his translations of Spanish poetry.
		Williams’ villains are the Puritans and the crusaders for progress and moral reform who are their descendants; his heroes are generally overlooked historical figures who sought “contact” with the virgin beauty of the American continent.
		Williams sees Poe not as “a fault of nature” but as “a genius intimately shaped by his [American] locality and time”, who rejected the banality of his literary inheritance (Longfellow, for example) in favor of an original style – a language and a method – that resisted conformity.

	CONTEXT: Linda Wagner-Martin, Reading William Carlos Williams
		William Carlos Williams might have been surprised to find CONTEXT reprinting sections of his 1923 prose-poem and poem collage, "Spring and All." Then again, writing for all of us truly common readers, the pure products of public and state schools as has never before been true in Western history, perhaps he would have simply nodded.
		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.
		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 in a World of Painters
		Williams thought about the creative process in painters’ terms, and he asks us to experience the work as we might experience a modern painting: "There is no subject; it's what you put on the canvas and how you put it on that makes the difference.
		Williams reinforces the bleakness of Brueghel's Parable of he Blind by telling us that there is "no seeing man" and "not a red in the composition." Poetry can present ideas without things, and though Williams is still niggardly with abstract words and phrases, he is including more than he did early on.
		Williams was continually confusing the self-conscious aesthetic of the naive that he and his fellow artists adopted with actual naivete.

	William Carlos Williams / Poems
		Before William Carlos Williams was recognized as one of the most important innovators in American poetry, he commissioned a printer to publish 100 copies of Poems (1909), a small collection largely imitating the styles of the Romantics and the Victorians.
		Shortly after Poems appeared, Williams went through a series of experiences that changed his life--a trip to Europe, a marriage to the sister of the woman he genuinely loved, and the establishment of his medical practice.
		William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) is one of the most widely read American poets of the twentieth century.

	The Beat Page - William Carlos Williams
		William Carlos Williams was born in Rutherford, New Jersey, in 1883.
		Following Pound, he was one of the principal poets of the Imagist movement, though as time went on, he began to increasingly disagree with the values put forth in the work of Pound and especially Eliot, who he felt were too attached to European culture and traditions.
		Continuing to experiment with new techniques of meter and lineation, Williams sought to invent an entirely fresh--and singularly American--poetic, whose subject matter was centered on the everyday circumstances of life and the lives of common people.

	In a Dark Time … The Eye Begins to See » William Carlos Williams
		For me, the critical difference between Pound and Williams is that Williams’ poetry is “centered on the everyday circumstances of life and the lives of common people,” As I stated in an earlier blog entry on Emerson’s “The American Scholar,” I agreed with Emerson when in describing the ideal scholar he said that:
		Williams, while less obviously adopting Whitman’s style, seems to share his perception of everyday life and view of the lives of common people.
		At his best, William Carlos Williams can almost help us to regain our faith in the human race, make us believe that there is hope for mankind if we but recognize people for who they really are.

	[minstrels] The Red Wheelbarrow -- William Carlos Williams
		During the 1920s and 1930s Williams labored largely in obscurity; with the publication of the first Paterson volumes in the 1940s, however, he gained wider recognition, and the emerging Beat Movement poets of the 1950s venerated him for his rejection of formalism.
		Williams, in dissecting the image of the wheelbarrow, has also transformed the common definition of a poem.
		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.

		Williams the doctor-poet proved that words can heal; Williams the literary nationalist declared in 1957: 'I don't speak English but the American idiom.' All these Williamses exist; all of them are to some extent distractions, robbing many subtle poems of the attention they deserve.
		'What Williams sees, he sees in a flash,' his friend Kenneth Burke remarked in 1922, calling him 'the master of the glimpse': Williams mastered not only the flash and the glimpse but their aural equivalents, the bit of dialogue or monologue which, arranged as verse, illuminates not a scene but a speech and its speaker.
		Williams wrote that such essayistic poems gave him 'the power/to free myself/and speak of it', and some of them are thoughtful personal documents - one example is the long, tender love poem to his wife, 'Asphodel, that Greeny Flower'.
