ABSTRACT:This article examines the lines of influence and correlation between the work of William Carlos Williams and that of Irish poet Seamus Heaney. Highlighting Heaney's formative encounter with Williams's poetry during his time teaching in California in the early 1970s, this article attends to questions of form, place, idiom, and political concern that both figures engage. The second half of the article features a comparative discussion of each poet's response to images of the Tollund Man, a millennia-old sacrificial victim that was preserved in peat until its discovery in 1950 in Denmark. Proposing a literary genre based on the relationship between poetry, photography and violence in a 20th-century context, this article also alludes to the work of Walter Benjamin.

Making sense of William Carlos Williams’s political commitments continues to be of interest in all its rather complicated forms and iterations. One recent, ambitious approach is that of Mark Steven in Red Modernism: American Poetry and the Spirit of Communism, a book apparently timed to appear in October 2017 on the anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. Appear it did, staking a claim on links connecting Williams, Pound, and Zukofsky not just as modernist poetic innovators and experimenters, and thus literary revolutionists of sorts, but as poets deeply implicated in the politics of communist revolution in the twentieth century. Less specifically devoted to Williams, and somewhat in contrast to Steven’s enlistment of Williams as a revolutionist through the implications of style and genre, Poet Critics and the Administration of Culture by Evan Kindley, portrays the attenuation of the radical impulses of modernism as the twentieth century wore on and Cold War liberalism as a strategic safe zone for careerists in poetry. BOOK REVIEW
理解威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯(William Carlos Williams)的政治承诺，在其相当复杂的形式和迭代中，仍然是一个有趣的问题。最近，马克·史蒂文(Mark Steven)在《红色现代主义:美国诗歌和共产主义精神》(Red Modernism: American Poetry and Spirit of Communism)中提出了一个雄心勃勃的方法，这本书显然定于2017年10月布尔什维克革命周年纪念日出版。看来确实如此，它声称威廉姆斯、庞德和祖可夫斯基之间的联系不仅是现代主义诗歌的革新者和实验者，因此是各种各样的文学革命家，而且是与二十世纪共产主义革命政治有深刻牵连的诗人。埃文·金德利的《诗人批评家与文化管理》没有特别提到威廉姆斯，与史蒂文通过风格和体裁的暗示把威廉姆斯作为革命者相比，它描绘了20世纪现代主义激进冲动的衰减，以及冷战时期自由主义作为诗歌野心家的战略安全区。书评

ABSTRACT:This article examines the “genome” of the influence William Carlos Williams’s poetry has had in terms of its vernacular speech-based aesthetics on the poets of the San Francisco Renaissance. The influence of Williams’s work on Kenneth Rexroth, Lew Welch, Gary Snyder, Philip Whalen, and Joanne Kyger are examined. This article argues that Williams’s influence becomes a fixture in the evolution of Bay Area poets and poetics after the San Francisco Renaissance and ascendancy of Beat Poetry, through its continuation into the decades of the 1970s and 1980s.

ABSTRACT:This article argues that Williams is fascinated with waste. As a result, he finds both inspiration and aesthetic material among the waste he claims to reject. In turn, this article uses dumpster diving as a hermeneutic for analyzing Williams’s writing, which foregrounds forms of trash to dirty the modernist canon and highlight environmental issues. The material history of Williams’s New Jersey landscape is discussed—namely, the infamous detritus of the Meadowlands—and its influence on Williams’s works. To conclude, the concept of litterality, or the intersection of real, mimetic, and formal forms of waste is taken up to unpack the related notion of the waste commons.

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.
