Octavo five volumes Books I-IV limited to 1000 copies.

Each volume is near fine to fine in a near fine to fine dust jacket. Jacket drawing of William Carlos Williams to Book V by his brother Edgar J. Williams. Paterson is Whitman's America grown pathetic and tragic brutalized by inequality disorganized by industrial chaos and faced with annihilation. No poet has written of it with such a combination of brilliance sympathy and experience with such alertness and energy" Lowell 78 "One of the great forces in 20th-century American verse. Williams' work is more expressive of American sensibility and more saturated with American speech and its rhythms than any poet's since Whitman. He has entered the bloodstream of American poetry" Hamilton 584. New Directions unknown books‎

‎Paterson: Books I-V‎

‎New York: New Directions. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. FIRST EDITIONS of all five books of William Carlos Williams's epic masterpiece one of the great triumphs of twentieth-century American poetry. Each first edition had a very limited print run: Books I-IV one of only 1000 copies Book V one of 3000 copies. "This is the first part of a long poem in four parts--that man in himself is a city beginning seeking achieving and concluding his life in ways which the various aspects of a city may embody--if imaginatively conceived--any city all the details of which may be made to voice his most intimate convictions. Part One introduces the elemental character of the place. The Second Part will comprise the modern replicas. Three will seek a language to make them vocal and Four the river below the falls will be reminiscent of episodes--all that any one man may achieve in a lifetime" Williams introducing Paterson which will ultimately become five rather than four books. New York: New Directions 1946-1958. Tall octavo original cloth original dust jackets. A FINE SET with only the slightest wear. Rare in this condition. New Directions hardcover books‎

‎The Autobiography of William Carlos Williams NDP 223‎

‎New York: New Directions Book 1967. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. First printing. Spine creased ink note on half-title page front wrapper verso and half-title page toned. 1967 Trade Paperback. 402 pp. "The Autobiography is an unpretentious book; it reads much as Williams talkedspontaneously and often with a special kind of salty humor. But it is a very human story glowing with warmth and sensitivity. It brings us close to a rare man and lets us share his affectionate concern for the people to whom he ministered body and soul through a long rich life as physician and writer. William Carlos Williams's medical practice and his literary career formed an undivided life. For forty years he was a busy doctor in the town of Rutherford New Jersey and yet he was able to write more than thirty books. One of the finest chapters in the Autobiography tells how each of his two roles stimulated and supported the other. New Directions Book paperback books‎
