Ab Williams

    William Carlos Williams war ein amerikanischer Dichter, der eng mit dem Modernismus und dem Imagismus verbunden war, während er gleichzeitig als Kinderarzt und praktischer Arzt tätig war. Trotz seines Hauptberufs als Arzt verfolgte Williams eine produktive literarische Karriere und verfasste Kurzgeschichten, Gedichte, Theaterstücke, Romane, kritische Essays, eine Autobiografie, Übersetzungen und Korrespondenzen. Er schrieb oft nachts und verbrachte die Wochenenden in New York City im Austausch mit Avantgarde-Künstlern und Schriftstellern, wobei er einen eigenen Weg abseits seiner dichterischen Kollegen einschlug. Sein umfangreiches Werk untersuchte das alltägliche Leben mit einem scharfen Blick für Bilder und Rhythmus und machte ihn zu einer bedeutenden Stimme in der amerikanischen Literatur.
