From the original book blurb of 1920: Another book from the pen of William Carlos Williams will no doubt be welcomed with mixed feelings by critics and reviewers, by lovers of poetry, and those that delight in plain, hard truth. Dr. Williams is no respecter of persons, and writes in verse or in the rhythmic prose of these improvisations he hits straight from the shoulder, -- and makes his point.
