William carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams wrote about the beutiful, often overlooked, images that sttod out in his life. He wrote about things that other people might look at as non essential to literature. I believe that "Spring and All" is the exact thing that Williams was looking for in modern poetry. The poem "In Passing with My Mind" begins with the speaker seeming to be apart from the rest of the world. This is noticeable when he says, "In passing with my mind on nothing in the world." The speaker seems to notice little things that would not normally be noticeable-he seems detached from and in awe of regular, everyday occurances. I believe that Williams is trying to recreate moments in time for the reader's imagination. This is the main reason that I really enjoy Williams' poetry.
