I picked this up from my library because William Carlos Williams was mentioned a lot in a book on writing poetry I had recently read. I can’t say I fully understand his style (and the introduction which the back of the book boasts as “superbly clear and helpful” is full of academic jargon with little to no explanation for someone unfamiliar with this school of poetry) but after going to Wikipedia, I can appreciate what he was trying to do.

The poems includes from “The Desert Music” and “Journey to Love” were my favorites. My biggest issue of this collection was that there were larger works that had been excerpted and in my opinion took away from my understanding of them.
