William Carlos Williams was a lifelong poetic experimenter, innovator, and revolutionary. He advocated for finding primal motivation in the American environment, incorporating the everyday language and materials of ordinary people into his poetry. He employed imagination and compassion to break through limitations, awaken new life, and unleash a refreshing joy amidst the harsh realities of fragmentation and industrialization. His innovations in American poetry influenced poets such as Lowell and Ginsberg, earning him the title "the forefather of American postmodern poetry." He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1963.
This book selects representative works from various stages of Williams' fifty-year poetic career, and is divided into two volumes based on his breakthrough work "Spring and Everything" in his early experimental stage. It includes the first translated prose poetry collection "Cora in Hell: Improvisations" and the Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection "The Pictures of Bruegel", etc., comprehensively presenting the changes in the poet's poetic skills and poetic pursuits.
