Description

Spring and All is a seminal work of American poetry by William Carlos Williams, first published in 1923. This edition features a full facsimile of the original, reproduced without optical recognition software to preserve its integrity.

As a practicing physician for over 40 years, Williams brought a unique perspective to his poetry, one that rejected traditional forms and conventions in favour of a more experimental approach. Alongside Ezra Pound and other early-20th-century poets, he formed the core of the Imagist movement, which focused on capturing verbal pictures and moments of revealed truth.

The book's two most famous sections are poems I and XXII, with "Spring and All" being one of its most well-known titles. This collection showcases Williams' innovative style, which blends free verse with a focus on the present moment.
