Book Description:

Relates the form, structure, and content of William Carlos Williams's poetry to demonstrate how his formal concerns bear upon the content, namely, how form testifies to a vision that the style verifies. Tracing the development of Williams's work from 1909 to 1944, Holsapple aligns emerging aesthetic concepts and procedures with shifts in Williams's writing practice to disclose how meaning becomes refigured.
