Thirty-two of his finest verses  accompanied by gorgeous paintings that capture Williams evocative references to nature and everyday life  grace this new title in the much-celebrated Poetry for Young People series. Renowned scholar and professor Christopher MacGowan  who has edited several volumes of Williams work  provides a fascinating biography of this poet-doctor as well as invaluable annotations that explain unfamiliar vocabulary. Exquisite paintings  by the distinguished artist Robert Crockett  make every page a treat to look at and truly illuminate the poems. Among the poems included here are \"Dawn \" with its lovely evocation of bird song and flight; \"Primrose \" a celebration of summers joys; \"10\/30 \" a witty verse that imitates the sounds of freight trains passing by the station near his home; and an excerpt from his famed book-length poem  \"Paterson.\"  Professor Christopher MacGowan is co-editor of Volume I of The Collected Poems of William Carlos Williams  and editor of Volume II and other books of Williamss poetry. He is also the author of articles on Sherwood Anderson  Denise Levertov  and Vladimir Nabokov. Professor MacGowan is the Chair of the English department at The College of William and Mary.  Robert Crockett has illustrated numerous books  magazine articles  and advertising pieces. Among his many awards are 11 gold and silver medals from the San Francisco Society of Illustrators (of which he was past president). His paintings regularly show in the New York Society of Illustrators Annual Exhibit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944954818613,"sku":"ByrdShop_1402700067","price":31.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781402700064.jpg?v=1769863206","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/william-carlos-williams-poetry-for-young-people","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
