Paul Mariani
William Carlos Williams: A New World Naked

William Carlos Williams (1883–1963) emerged alongside Pound, Eliot, Stevens, Frost, and Yeats as one of the foremost poets of the 20th century. Paterson, Williams`s epic masterpiece, raised everyday American speech to the highest levels of poetic imagination. A finalist for the national Book Award and a New York Times Notable Book, William Carlos Williams: A New World Naked is a remarkable, rich blend of art and scholarship. From a small-town doctor who delivered more than 3,000 babies to an extraordinary revolutionary, Paul Mariani unfolds Williams` life and times while simultaneously letting the reader inside the poet`s mind and language in this definitive masterwork.
Review
“The most laudable aspect of Paul Mariani`s critical biography of William Carlos Williams is that it largely succeeds in placing him, in his biographer`s words, as "the single most important American poet of the twentieth century,` and though Williams is dead almost 20 years now, there has been no poet in that time to deny him his primacy.”― New York Times Book Review

“Paul Mariani`s perceptive, ranging, detailed biography of William Carlos Williams is not only a labor of oldtime love but a uniquely objective testament to the heroic dimensions of this man`s life, which was so singularly American and whose work was so remarkable an influence upon the poetry of our time.”― Robert Creeley

“Energetic, fast-paced. . . . It is a pleasure to have so much of [Williams`s] exceptional life run by one`s eyes, reach one`s mind and heart again.”― New Republic

“Effectively delineates Williams`s many loves―personal and literary―and provides a superb gloss on the range of his truly innovative poetry and prose. . . . The reader is grateful for the massive feat of research and synthesis that brings to such vivid life this mercurially cranky personality.”― Saturday Review
