Spring and All

Hailed by the New York Times as one of the greatest poems of the 20th century. SPRING AND ALL is a manifesto of the imagination – a hybrid of alternating sections of prose and free verse that coalesce in dramatic, energetic, and beautifully cryptic statements of how language re-creates the world. The poem contains some of Williams’s best-known poetry, including Section I with its famous opening, “By the road to the contagious hospital,” and Section XXII, where Williams penned his most renowned poem, “The Red Wheelbarrow.” This new edition reproduces the original 1923 edition, including a facsimile of the original interior as well as an introduction by the poet C.D. Wright. Errata. 96p.
