Description
This is the paperback edition of the first of Carcanet's monumental, definitive two-volume edition of Williams' "Collected Poems", including all his verse apart from his major long poem "Paterson", also available from Carcanet. Thom Gunn described this volume as 'an ideal edition'. The poems are printed in the order of their original publication, starting with "The Tempers" (1913) and ending with "Poems 1936-1939". The appendices include notes on the text, annotations and the original contents pages of the earlier "Collected" editions, as well as a full index of titles and first lines.

Description
First published by Carcanet in Britain in 1987, then by Paladin in 1991, Williams' two volumes of "Collected Poems" comes home to Carcarnet for a re-issue in January 2001. Volume I opens with "The Tempers" (1913) and ends in 1939, the self-acknowledged turning point in Williams' career when his focus on poetic experimentation resulted in Paterson. Volume II takes up the story from 1939 until the year before Williams' death. "Collected Poems" does adhere to the chronological form of previous editions and is accompanied by the author's comments on the text.
