Literary Diva Presents: Literary Journey! William Carlos Williams!

Join us as we continue our literary journey with American poet, pediatrician, and general practictioner of medicine, William Carlos Williams. He had a full literary career. His work consists of short stories, poems, plays, novels, critical essays, an autobiography, translations and correspondence. One of his most notable contributions to American literature was his willingness to be a mentor for younger poets. Though Pound and Eliot may have been more lauded in their time, a number of important poets in the generations that followed were either personally tutored by Williams or pointed to Williams as a major influence. His major collections are Kora in Hell (1920), Spring and All (1923), Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962), Paterson (1963, repr. 1992), and Imaginations (1970). His most anthologized poem is "The Red Wheelbarrow", considered an example of the Imagist movement's style and principles. Tune in as we take a journey with William Carlos Williams.
