US Imagist poet, William Carlos Williams, pictured in the 1950s.

US poet, essayist, and theoretician. He was associated with Imagism and Objectivism. One of the most original and influential of modern poets, he is noted for advancing poetics of visual images and colloquial American rhythms, conceiving the poem as a ‘field of action’. His epic, five-book poem Patterson (1946-58) is written in a form of free verse that combines historical documents, newspaper material, and letters, to celebrate his home town in New Jersey. Pictures from Brueghel (1963) won him, posthumously, a Pulitzer Prize. His vast body of prose work includes novels, short stories, essays, and the play A Dream of Love (1948).
