The Collected Poems, Vol. 1 1909-1939

Poetry spanning three decades of evolving craft.

If you're a poetry lover, diving into William Carlos Williams' "Collected Poems, Vol. 1" is akin to exploring a treasure trove of modernist verse. You'll experience the evolution of Williams' voice from his early work to the brink of World War II. Imagine the poems as a tapestry, each thread a different insight into American life and language through the eyes of a groundbreaking poet. This collection is a journey through time and a testament to Williams' enduring impact on poetry.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
