Spring & All by William Carlos Williams (1923) Contact Publishing

Williams’ manifesto of the imagination.  Two of his best-known poems; “Spring and All” and “The Red Wheelbarrow” appeared first in this volume.  He alternates between an examination of how the imagination works in prose and poetry, then shows us an example in poetry.

His musings on the work on the imagination and letting the mind produce are inspiring and can be read over and over with benefits for a writer in each reading.
