With the publication of this book, Charles Tomlinson's edition of Williams's Selected Poems , New Directions has introduced a gathering larger and more comprehensive than the original 1963 edition.Opening with Professor Tomlinson's superbly clear and helpful introduction this selection reflects the most up-to-date Williams scholarship.
