Here are the roomy, rangy poems of \u003ci\u003eTar\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWith Ignorance\u003c\/i\u003e, in which Williams married the long line of Whitman to a modern's psychological self-scrutiny; the compact sonnets of \u003ci\u003eFlesh and Blood\u003c\/i\u003e; and the inward investigations of \u003ci\u003eA Dream of Mind\u003c\/i\u003e. Here are the incomparable poems from the prize winning books \u003ci\u003eRepair\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Singing\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, too, are new poems, in which Williams's moral vigilance is brought to bear, again, on life during wartime. \u003ci\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is the life's work of a modern master--fiercely intelligent, arresting in its beauty, unforgettable in its echoes and reverberations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eC.
