William Carlos William (1883–1963)
Auteur van Selected Poems
Over de Auteur
Poet, artist, and practicing physician of Rutherford, New Jersey, William Carlos Williams wrote poetry that was experimental in form, ranging from imagism to objectivism, with great originality of idiom and human vitality. Credited with changing and directing American poetry toward a new metric and toon meer language, he also wrote a large number of short stories and novels. Paterson (1946--58), about the New Jersey city of that name, was his epic and places him with Ezra Pound of the Cantos as one of the great shapers of the long poem in this century. National recognition did not come early, but eventually Williams received many honors, including a vice-presidency of the National Institute of Arts and Letters (1952); the Bollingen Prize (1953); the $5,000 fellowship of the Academy of American Poets; the Loines Award for poetry of the National Institute of Arts and Letters (1948); and the Brandeis Award (1957). Book II of Paterson received the first National Book Award for poetry in 1949. Williams was named consultant in poetry in English to the Library of Congress for 1952--53. Williams's continuously inventive style anchored not only objectivism, the school to which he most properly belongs, but also a long line of subsequent poets as various as Robert Lowell, Frank O'Hara, and Allen Ginsberg. With Stevens, he forms one of the most important sources of a specifically American tradition of modernism. In addition to his earlier honors, Williams received two important awards posthumously, the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1963) and the Gold Medal for Poetry from the National Institute of Arts and Letters (1963).

Overall, I gave Williams three stars because it was just ok. He is called an Imaginist, or something like that, because he experimented with style. He did not follow rules (except his own). He left out punctuation and did not use typical sentences. He experimented with lines of poetry, and did not bother with rhyming.
His topics were all over the place and very strange. But I did have one favorite and it was Landscape with the Fall of Icarus because it caused me to revisit the painting. Williams pointed out that no one really even noticed what happened to Icarus, even the fisherman at the water's edge, a few feet from where Icarus entered the sea. It was all kind of humorous, and I suppose Brueghel meant it to be, and Williams was moved to write about it.… (meer)
