abstract:This article traces the development of a poetics of local experience, knowledge, and speech in William Carlos Williams and Gary Snyder. Reading Williams's essays alongside Snyder's journals, letters, interviews, and prose essays, I argue that Snyder's ideas about language and place are deeply and intricately related to Williams's modernist dedication to the problem of living together in place—of cultivating through creative work a convivial local culture. This communal orientation, while implicit in Williams's ideas about the generosity of art, is developed in Snyder's ecological reckoning with the loss of biological and cultural diversity and his embrace of what I call a poetics of conviviality and care.

abstract:The effervescent cultural scene of the West Coast in the 1950s—particularly regarding movements such as the San Francisco Renaissance and the Beat Generation—was influenced by Eastern thought and religious practices. These were disseminated by figures such as the Japanese scholar D.T. Suzuki and the Bay Area-based and self-proclaimed "philosophical entertainer" Alan Watts. Along with Watts, another influential figure for the West Coast poets—having even served as mentor to Allen Ginsberg—was William Carlos Williams. This essay argues that, influenced by Zen Buddhist principles, both Williams and Watts propose a vision of the imagination as a cosmological force capable of merging the material and transcendental dimensions of reality. This essay suggests that Williams's and Watts's concepts and their understanding of Zen Buddhist ideas deeply affected the works of the West Coast poets and laid the foundations for their cross-cultural interests as well as their experimentation with poetics and spirituality.

ABSTRACT:Long linked to pastoral, Williams’s engagement with the literary past is more complex than critics recognize. His emphasis on formal mediation and compositional method rather than rigid convention connect him to traditions of georgic that emphasize the craftwork of writing poems. Particularly in Spring and All, Williams engages georgic to critically examine the classical “praise of spring” motif and rethink dominant accounts of perceptual experience.

ABSTRACT:William Carlos Williams’s translation of the Spanish Golden Age novella El perro y la calentura (The Dog and the Fever), by Pedro Espinosa, is a major work in Williams’s canon that has yet to receive the degree of attention it deserves from scholars. The omission from scholarly understanding of this translation of proto- modern fiction limits the full appreciation of both his development and his achievement as a major American author. My essay examines the translation and its importance to Williams, his idea of modernism, and his epic verse.

ABSTRACT:This article departs from J. Hillis Miller’s notion of “copresence” in Williams’s poetry to consider ekphrasis as a specific mode of access to the world, revealing differences between art forms as differences between how and what they make present. It focuses, as a primary example, on Williams’s “The Hunters in the Snow,” from Pictures from Brueghel.

ABSTRACT:This essay reads Williams’s poetry and poetics from the vantage of pragmatic naturalism to clarify the philosophical and pedagogical importance of Kora in Hell: Improvisations. Drawing on the work of John Dewey and contemporary philosophy of mind, it both reconsiders the status of things and objects in Williams’s compositional practice and clarifies the poet’s radical claims for the enabling role of poetry and the arts for human agency and thinking.
