William Carlos Williams first spoke to the issue of form shortly
after the publication of ""The Wanderer"" in 1914 - his move to
vers libre - and never stopped talking about form until his death
in 1963. His poetry shows, decade after decade, persistent formal
innovation. Bruce Holsapple's The Birth of the Imagination relates
the form, structure, and content of Williams's poetry to
demonstrate how his formal concerns bear upon the content, namely,
how form testifies to a vision that the style verifies. Tracing the
development of Williams's work from Poems in 1909 through The Wedge
in 1944, Holsapple aligns emerging aesthetic concepts and
procedures with shifts in Williams's writing practice to disclose
how meaning becomes refigured, affecting what the poems ""say.""
While focusing primarily on Williams's experimental works,
including the novellas, this innovative study charts how
significant features in Williams's poetry result from specific
imaginative practices.
