Join bookseller Gwen Hunter to read and discuss selections of classic and contemporary poetry. This month Poetry Book Club will be reading Selected Poems by Williams Carlos Williams.
From The Poetry Foundation:
William Carlos Williams was a medical doctor, poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright. With Ezra Pound and H.D., Williams was a leading poet of the Imagist movement and often wrote of American subjects and themes. Though his career was initially overshadowed by other poets, he became an inspiration to the Beat generation in the 1950s and 60s. He was known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry.
