Spring and All

Voted by The New York Times as one of the greatest poems of the twentiethcentury, Spring and All is a manifesto of the imagination — a hybrid of alternating sections of prose and free verse that crystallizes in dramatic, energetic, andbeautifully cryptic statements of how language recreates the world. Spring andAll contains some of Williams’s best known poetry, including Section I whichopens, “By the road to the contagious hospital” (now commonly known by thetitle “Spring and All”), and Section XXII, where Williams penned his most famouspoem, “The Red Wheelbarrow.”

Although Spring and All has been always available in collected works suchas Imaginations and Collected Poems: Volume I, this Pearl edition makes it shineas the separate book that William Carlos Williams intended.
