Stories from a Master Poet
This is an incredible book of short stories by Williams Carlos Williams, the noted American Poet from the thirties, forties and fifties. Like his poems, these stories have to do with human emotions and the human condition, but unlike the poems, they are fully developed with realistic backgrounds and fully fleshed out details. This is because, while Williams was writing poetry, he eeked out ...

Selected Poems (William Carlos Williams)

William Carlos Williams

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1985

So much depends upon...
You know the red wheelbarrow poem? The bloody dumb red wheelbarrow beside those idiot white chickens? Glistening in sunlight? The wheelbarrow, not the chickens. Glistening. Though if plucked and cooked for a good two hours at 275 degrees, the chickens are bound to glisten too. Fifteen years and many humbling events later, I can honestly say I've come around. Mr. Williams is an amazing ...

Pop Surrealism: The Rise Of Underground Art

Last Gasp, 2004

raves from a lowbrow newbie
I do not come from the lowbrow culture ,whatever that is, and have never paid it any heed. But I came across this book and my eyes have been opened. This art is NOT what I had assumed - it's clever, thoughtful, insightful, and challenging. It has an in-your-face attitude which I think held me at bay for a while. But through this book I have learned to relax, to appreciate and to enjoy. Many ...

William Carlos Williams: Selected Poems (American Poets Project)

William Carlos Williams

Library of America, 2004

Electrifying
First of all, I'm shocked that I am the first person to review this book, which was released a few months ago. I'm no poetry "expert," though I do know what I like, and I like this guy. But where is everybody? I thought this volume, as well as others in the American Poets Project, would have received more attention. Especially William Carlos Williams, a voice like no other, intoxicating in a ...

Book for online course
I am using this book for a online college curse and the book it's great! It provide many tools like the textbook's website to help you to understand the material and exams online. In general, I like the little cases that are update and motivate you to keep reading. If this book by itself can help you to develop you own Small Business, it worth.

Paterson

William Carlos Williams

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1995

One of my favorite books of any kind.
Paterson is a book-length poem that tells you everything you need to know about America. If it appears complex and impenetrable then you need to put the thing down for a day or two, and then try again, because this is really a joy, there's nothing impenetrable about it! Read it when you really have some time to think and skip the commentary (by this I mean read it first without consulting ...

The foundation of WCW's art
Whew, check out that list. This is the foundation of Williams' art, for fans of his selected & Pictures from Brughel. This is the development of Williams' daily art, fine poems punctuated by an occasional masterpiece or near-surrealistic gemstone. Someone once asked John Cage, "With your methods, couldn't anyone compose music?" Cage replied, "Yes, but they don't." With Williams, it almost ...

Murder, rape, torture, pedophilia, cannibalism, drugs, sedition, racism and blasphemy mixed with literature, history, politics, news, movies, TV, punk rock, philosophy and science. The book profiles a ...

Cotton Mather: Fat and Dumb?
I have just finished reading this book for the second time, once in depth in college as a history major. Now a second time for pleasure as I have retired from fifty years of teaching. America as a nation that will not read: just ask me, papers about the wrong book, "it had a (title)name that was close" I was told more than once? Every Amarican Indian should read this book as well as Dee Brown's ...

Slow Food: The Case for Taste (Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History)

Carlo Petrini

Columbia University Press, 2004

Sane alternatives to the Fast Life
It's rare to find a book that's informative, convivial, and inspiring. Carlo Petrini's Slow Food: The Case for Taste is such a book. True to his Italian character and culture, he describes the Slow Food movement with style and exuberance. He would make a convert of me if I had not already embraced his philosophy for the "good life". I share his passion for excellence in food and wine and the ...

William Carlos Williams

New Directions Books, 1967

A great book of poems by an essential poet
This collection of poems from Williams's later years is ripe with the mastery of his craft. Uneven at times, as he always was, these poems reflect his later experiments with the "variable foot" and his turn towards a more philosophic tone that came after his series of strokes in the fifties. What they also show is that Williams was at the end of his life (not unlike W.B. Yeats) once again ...

That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana (New York Review Books Classics)

7 reviews
Carlo Emilio Gadda

NYRB Classics, 2007

a philosophical whodunit
Obviously Gadda's novel is not the usual crime novel. Basically it's a literary masteripiece which happens to be *also* a crime novel. In it you have everything you usually find in a "classical" whodunit: a victim, a detective, some suspects, police inquiry, and the culprit. But these things are no more than a pretext for such an immense writer like Gadda to talk about Fascist Italy and the city ...

Physiological Ecology
The authors, experts in their research fields, have produced a magnificent text book, which has filled an important gap. The information contained in the book and the approach of the different subjects are first rate and refreshing. I recommend this book to all those who want to have a stimulating and an indepth reading of such an important field within the biological sciences.

Marvel Comics, 2006

Powerful
Squadron Supreme was Marvel's answer to the Justice League. After an incredible 12-issue mini-series (which is still available), this comic book was released as a follow-up to conclude the story line. This shorter graphic novel was incredibly powerful. The remaining members of the Squadron Supreme put their lives at stake to save their dying universe. It is an intense read. If you loved the ...
