William Carlitos Williams :D
To begin with this author might have the weirdest name but he was an excellent writer, when I first saw the poem of the plums or the red wheelbarrow I thought they were the most weird poems I have ever read. William on the other hand made those poems seems like poems and not just a simple letter than he leaves his wife asking for forgiveness. These two poems by William Carlos Williams in my opinion has all the qualities of the Modern Literature, I say this because in his works he is able to show that poetry can be found in every single word out there. The only thing needed to do is find how to put them together and be able to show meaning and symbolism. Carlos was not afraid of change that is why most of his poems include grammatical errors, for example, in the poems I stated above he uses no capitalization, no commas, only one period at the end of the poem. He in my opinion was the one that loved to experiment and come up with new ideas during the Modern Time.

I agree; his name is weird, but his last name is amazing. Anyway we're on the same page, his poems didn't really seem like poetry. It's just that real. He just put words together and formed a poem.
ReplyDeleteI agree, too. his name cracks me up which is awesome but his poetry is something opposite expected from a guy like that.
ReplyDeleteI get really confused with this poem, I don't see the Modern Lit. in this one.
ReplyDeleteI know this poem is so simple but you can get a lot out of it.
