Organic Prosody In The Poetry Of William Carlos Williams

Robert Grenier

After successfully petitioning the Harvard College Department of English for permission to write a Senior Honors Thesis on a contemporary poet such as Williams, Robert Grenier submitted Organic Prosody In The Poetry Of William Carlos Williams in 1965. A pseudonym was required for prize consideration (accounting for the title page). Appended is a note Grenier made to himself in 1971 concerning Williams' Spring & All. This copy courtesy of Albert Gelpi, one of Grenier's principal advisors during his senior year at Harvard.
