Published in 1917 by The Four Seas Press, Al Que Quiere! was
William Carlos Williams's breakthrough book and contains some of
his best-loved poems ("Tract," "Apology," "El Hombre," "Danse
Russe," "January Morning," and "Smell!"), as well as a Whitmanesque
concluding long poem, "The Wanderer," that anticipates his epic
masterpiece Paterson. Al Que Quiere! is the culmination of an
experimental period for Williams that included his translations
from Spanish. The Spanish epigraph of Al Que Quiere! is from the
short story "El hombre que parecia un caballo" ("The Man Who
Resembled a Horse"), by the Guatemalan author Rafael Arevalo
Martinez. This centennial edition contains Williams's translation
of the story, as well as his commentary from a book of
conversations, I Wanted to Write a Poem, on the individual poems of
Al Que Quiere!
