C.K. Williams - Selected Poems - by C.K. Williams

Reviewed by Dr. Christopher Kurtz

C.K. Williams' book of selected poems presents work from thirty years of writing and includes not only early poems, but also some new poems, which are equally as vital and creative as his more well-known pieces.

The book begins with poems written in 1969 and ends with his newer work. Throughout the book, Williams' poems remind us what it is to live and that he is one of the most gifted poets of our time. His work has long focused on problems that we deal with everyday and the way to solve those problems. His long poetic lines lead into his inventiveness of language and establish a collection that, though contemporary, is timeless.

Other works by Williams, who most recently won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, include Flesh and Blood. He currently teaches at Princeton University.
