The celebrated poet behind such classics as “The Red Wheelbarrow” and “This Is Just to Say” presents a collection of essays about North American history.

In the American Grain is, as William Carlos Williams said, “a study to try to find out for myself what the land of my more or less accidental birth might signify.” Although Williams wrote poetry and prose—and was a doctor—he was not a historian. In this book, he applies a fresh, lyrical perspective to moments in America’s past. Beginning with the bloody Erik the Red, discoverer of Greenland and father of Leif Erikson, Williams revisits episodes from history like the destruction of Tenochtitlan, the Mayflower ship’s journey to America, and the founding of Quebec, as well as the expeditions of explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Juan Ponce de León, Hernando de Soto, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Samuel de Champlain. He then moves along to events like the Salem witch trials, Daniel Boone’s discovery of Kentucky, and Aaron Burr’s romance with Jacataqua. He also discusses important figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, and Abraham Lincoln.

By deconstructing America’s history and rebuilding it with a poet’s voice, Williams created “a fundamental book, essential if one proposes to come to terms with American literature” (The Times Literary Supplement).

This is perhaps one of the greatest works of historical Literary fiction ever produced

This is perhaps one of the greatest works of historical Literary fiction ever produced. From one of the American Modern period's greatest poets comes a work of fiction that rises to the level of lyric, a sincere look at some of American history's greatest figures through the lens of the author that is at times satire and at times measured hero worship. There are few books that have the kind of power with which WCW infused these pages. A compelling, thought-provoking read that drives you forward with its insight and completely original take on the American past that forms the American present.

An Alternate look at history...with a twist!!

2013年1月26日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

Read this book for a comparative literature class and this book blew my mind. Williams writes about history through a different point of view with a twist a mythology. Did my presentation on this book and received an A in the course. It is a collection of short stories and each story gets better than the previous one. Give this book a shot and you will not be disappointed.

A poet's meditation on the Conquest of the Americas

2014年1月2日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

This is a prose chronicle of the impact of the conquest on the indigenous peoples of America, written by a poet. It's powerful at times and at other times it's predictable.

Awfully good

Is this WCW's best work? No, but it is awfully good, his play with voice, his hope to find American voices.
