Editor Krivak, an independent scholar and writer, offers 200 selected letters, most of them previously unpublished, that offer glimpses into the relationship between William Carlos Williams and
his younger brother Edgar and, more importantly, the elder Williams' consistent efforts to find his voice as a poet. The book also includes a thorough introduction, extensive annotation, and
images of poetry and art the brothers had created. The letters are not only interesting reading, but also provide a revealing view of the influences, thought, and practices of the turn of the
20th century that so profoundly molded literary history. Distributed by Associated University Presses. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
