He brought a poetic imagination to the task of reconstructing a live tradition for Americans, and the result is a genuinely consistent and integrated expression of the American inheritance.

Construit autour de la ville ouvrière du New Jersey qui lui donne son titre, et suivant le cours métaphorique de la rivière Passaic, ce long poème offre le portrait éclaté d'une ville américaine à travers son paysage immédiat, ses scènes contemporaines, mais aussi les multiples strates de son histoire coloniale, culturelle, industrielle... Williams a conçu son ouvrage comme un vaste montage, où alternent séquences versifiées - à la syntaxe tourmentée - et collages de proses quotidiennes : archives locales, coupures de presse, lettres et documents divers... La tension majeure du livre réside bien sûr dans cet écart, entre un projet épique (mais hanté par une déroute historique et sociale) et l'extraordinaire invention dont le poète fait preuve, dans la recherche d'une prosodie visuelle qu'il aura été l'un des premiers à concevoir.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/william-carlos-williams-books\"\u003eWilliam Carlos Williams\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Genre Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.
