About this book

This gathering of William Carlos Williams's early verse shows a modernist finding his voice. A working doctor in Rutherford, New Jersey, Williams wrote between house calls and hospital rounds, and his poems keep that grounded attention to plain American life and speech. In early collections such as The Tempers he is still shaking off the borrowed ornament of his contemporaries, reaching toward the exact, unfussy language that would define his mature style. The rhythms are spare, the images clean, and the feeling stays just under the surface rather than spilling over. For readers curious about how twentieth-century American poetry learned to sound direct and unadorned, these pages are a fine starting point.
