Summary: Acrobat of the imagination
Review: William Carlos Williams' "Imaginations" collects five complete works of the great american poet. As excursions into experimental literature these five examples cannot be beat. The compelling and lucid examinations of the working imagination by one of the best acrobats of the imagination. All originally published in small editions and finally available again as they were before being hacked up into selected works and anthologies. "Spring and All" contains many of William's best-loved poems as they appeared with the original experimental prose that was in itself a manifesto of imagination. "The Descent of Winter" is poetry, fiction, criticism and personal journal all in one and is exquisitely beautiful and deeply insightful as a portrait of an unusually gifted artist and man.
