(See map...ref no. 13) While studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Williams met, and became friends with, Ezra Pound . Pound exerted a profound influence on Williams' writing and subsequently, much of his early poetry is Imagist in nature. However, as time went by, Williams increasingly moved away from Imagism in favour of what he called Objectivism. He also attempted to create poetry which took as its subject matter the everyday lives of ordinary Americans. He famously described his approach to writing as 'no ideas but in things'. For most of his life Williams worked as a paediatrician in his home town of Rutherford, New Jersey. His work as a doctor provided an inspiration for much of his literary output, giving him an insight into what he referred to as: 'the secret gardens of the self '.

var level = 2; FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) Index William Carlos Williams was a practicing pediatrician throughout his life; he delivered over 2,000 babies and wrote poems on his prescription pads. Williams was a classmate of poets Ezra Pound and Hilda Doolittle, and his early poetry reveals the influence of Imagism. He later went on to champion the use of colloquial speech; his ear for the natural rhythms of American English helped free American poetry from the iambic meter that had dominated English verse since the Renaissance. His sympathy for ordinary working people, children, and everyday events in modern urban settings make his poetry attractive and accessible. "The Red Wheelbarrow" (1923), like a Dutch still life, finds interest and beauty in everyday objects. Williams cultivated a relaxed, natural poetry. In his hands, the poem was not to become a perfect object of art as in Stevens , or the carefully re-created Wordsworthian incident as in Frost.

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) Contributing Editor: Theodora R. Graham Classroom Issues and Strategies Students' assumption that what appears simple is simplistic can be a problem with teaching Williams's poetry. Some students feel the need to sketch in the house, barn, and fields behind the wheelbarrow and white chickens. For others, lack of experience with innovative line breaks and visual effects causes initial confusion. Many do not at first listen for the voice(s). They do not pay attention to speakers and therefore miss the tonal shadings, irony, humor, and other effects, including the sometimes clinical objectivity of poems related to visual art. I recommend that students read poems aloud from the beginning. I read a poem aloud myself in class as a "possible interpretation" and have students comment on or revise the reading. I also use transparencies of shorter poems, occasionally changing the line breaks in an "edited version" to call attention to Williams's technique of fragmentation (not breaking necessarily with a syntactic unit). In addition, I sometimes use art slides that relate to specific poems (Demuth's "I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold," "Tuberoses"; Picasso's "The Girl and the Hoop"; Sheeler's "Classic Scene"). Students often ask if Williams is usually the speaker in the poem. They wonder how autobiographical his work is and ask whether his work as a doctor really influenced the way he wrote and what he wrote about. Those interested in form ask whether a single sentence, broken up on the page, can be a legitimate poem.
