About the Author

Besides being a practicing physician, William Carlos Williams (1883–1963) was a poet, short-story writer, novelist, translator, playwright, and essayist whose contribution to the development of modern American poetry grew out of his commitment to recording the "local" experience of Rutherford, New Jersey, and its environs.

From the Back Cover

'I Wanted to Write a Poem' is, then, a brief 'talking' bibliography, alive with the Williamses' memories of the circumstances in which the books were brought into being-in Miss Heal's words, 'a nostalgic review of the early twentieth-century literary world.'
