|  | Selected Poems by Charles Tomlinson, William Carlos Williams
Williams's poetry is characterized by formal freedom--inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman--coupled with an imagistic conciseness; like Pound, Williams believed that concrete details need no explanation, that ideas must be embodied in images. His poems are full of everyday objects; they celebrate the ordinary and the seemingly trivial--though they do so in unfamiliar ways and often from a surprising perspective. This volume contains poems spanning three decades in Williams's career. AUTHOR: Charles Tomlinson, William Carlos Williams
