William Carlos Williams: Selected Poems (American Poets Project)
reviewed on + 199 more book reviews


Edited and with an introduction by Robert Pinsky, it includes notes on the poems and a short biographical note. There are too many poems to list the titles. The Library of America selected his work for inclusion in the American Poets Project. "His sharpness of vision, vigorous music, and restless experimentation make him one of the commanding poetic figures of the twentieth century." I just happen to like the old poets best.
