 Paterson is both a place--the New Jersey city in whom the person (the poet's own life) and the public (the history of the region) are combined. Originally four books (published individually between 1946 and 1951), the structure of Paterson (in Dr. Williams' words) "follows the course of teh Passaic River" from above the great falls to its entrance into the sea. The unexpected Book Five, published in 1958, affirms the triumphant life of the imagination, in spite of age and death. This revised edition has been meticulously re-edited by Christopher MacGowan, who has supplied a wealth of notes and explanatory material.

About William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams (1883–1963) was an American modernist poet born in Rutherford, New Jersey, where he practiced medicine throughout his life. Educated at the University of Pennsylvania medical school, where he knew Ezra Pound and H.D., he summarized his approach in the dictum "no ideas but in things." His collections include Spring and All (1923), the book-length Paterson (New Directions, 1946–1958), and Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (New Directions, 1962), which received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry posthumously in 1963. He won the first National Book Award for Poetry in 1950 and the Bollingen Prize in 1953.
