American Lit II: William Carlos Williams' Poetry

In American Literature, we went over the poetry of William Carlos Williams; we specifically focused on two poems, "The Red Wheebarrow" and "This is Just to Say." Williams was an innovator in the field of poetry during his time due to the way he wrote many of his poems; much of it just being very short poems about the length of a sentence. One would not think that his poetry would be very complex, but the shorter his poems are, the more complex they are due to the imagery he uses in his poems.
