Download or read book The Poetry of William Carlos Williams of Rutherford written by Wendell Berry and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2011-02-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “superb study” that “reminds us that Williams remains our contemporary not only for the lively cadences and fresh imagery that animate his poems, but for the ethical imperative of his example” (The Sewanee Review). Acclaimed essayist and poet Wendell Berry was born and has always lived in a provincial part of the country without an established literary culture. In an effort to adapt his poetry to his place of Henry County, Kentucky, Berry discovered an enduringly useful example in the work of William Carlos Williams. In Williams’ commitment to his place of Rutherford, New Jersey, Berry found an inspiration that inevitably influenced the direction of his own writing. Both men would go on to establish themselves as respected American poets, and here Berry sets forth his understanding of that evolution for Williams, who in the course of his local membership and service, became a poet indispensable to us all. “Generously quoting many of Williams’ best lines . . . Berry produces a work of aesthetics more than evaluation, of love more than critique.” —Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book 'The Mirror Selfie' is the reflection of the author's own thought process. The topics are far and varied dealing with nature, death, sorrow, fear, emotions, people, society, love, relationships, loneliness, bonding, harmony, personality etc. As the name suggests the poetry book is a window to the poet's world through her eyes. Somewhere in the book there are hidden messages that express what the poet feels deep down inside. Through her writings the poet has exposed hypocrisy, callousness and at the same time been optimistic and full of life. Poetry offers an escape from the world of gloom and pessimism. It's an attempt on the author's part to reach out to the people far and wide through her poems which are easy on the eye yet logical, humorous or suttle. "The Mirror Selfie" is her second published book. Her first book "Bohemian Rhythms" had released last year (2023).
