Abstract
ABSTRACT:This article argues that Williams’s “The Avenue of Poplars” represents the most mature expression of Williams’s notion of imaginative sexuality. This poem brings to the attention of the reader one part of the imagination, which can, when linked with the other aspects of the imagination manifest in Spring and All, create a haven for the artist wandering in the modern world.
