William Carlos Williams was an American poet, physician, and writer closely associated with the Modernist movement. His poetry is characterized by its focus on everyday American life, colloquial speech, and vivid imagery, often drawing inspiration from the ordinary objects and experiences of his surroundings. Williams championed the idea of a distinctly American poetry, free from European influences, and his work significantly impacted the development of Imagism and later poetic movements.

Epitaph
An old willow with hollow branches
slowly swayed his few high gright tendrils
and sang:
Love is a young green willow
shimmering at the bare wood's edge.
