Description
From 1902 to 1912, William Carlos Williams wrote more than 300 letters to his younger brother Edgar, an architect with whom he shared the desire to become 'a great artist'. This collection of 200 letters sheds light on the aesthetic thoughts and practices with which Williams was engaged before his unique voice emerged in 'The Wanderer'.
