The author proposes that in Williams's later poetry the idea of memory is key to this resolution: Williams resolves the antithesis between memory and imagination by the figure of mimesis of memory, overcoming an impasse between memory as a memorial of the past in \"the old man's dreams\" in \"The High Bridge above the Tagus River at Toledo\" and memory as an enlivening of the creative imagination in the \"old man's mind\" in Paterson, Book Five, III.","PeriodicalId":53869,"journal":{"name":"WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"52 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45104927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parturient bodies are constantly either erased or hyper-corporealized in ways that pose problems for these poets' aesthetics. This article argues that Williams's constant, simultaneous fascination with, and disgust for, women's bodies in labor—an anxiety that is a hallmark of his career—is a response to the technologically mediated and mechanical bodies at the center of Futurist aesthetics. Using Mina Loy, whose work critics often read as feminist interventions in Futurism, as a departure point for understanding Williams, this article argues that both Williams and Loy use birth as a focal point for understanding the limits of the body and the malleability of its physical boundaries within modernist poetics, effectively rejecting Futurism's avant-garde embrace of the mechanical body.","PeriodicalId":53869,"journal":{"name":"WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"113 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41823581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Williams identifies a distinctive rhythmical characteristic of the \"American turn of phrase\"—a basic anapestic measure as opposed to an iambic pentameter. The poet's determined attempt to render American English distinct from British English and to promote its poetic merits as equal to those of the traditional literary language is seen in his use of the American idiom when translating from French. The article concludes, with reference to theories of translation, that for Williams the act of translation signifies an endeavor to test and demonstrate the unconventional poetic potentiality of the language that he cherished and that his compatriots spoke.","PeriodicalId":53869,"journal":{"name":"WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"34 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45891130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixture of fiction, autobiography and travelogue, it is the fictional memory of a real trip to Europe taken by the Williamses in 1924, and that proved to be relevant for Williams's creative education and for the development of his poetics. Implicitly through the novel, Williams recalls the autobiographical experience of the composition of his improvisational work Rome, and this article analyses the relationship between this \"fragmented\" and unfinished manuscript and the Roman ruins and fragments depicted in A Voyage to Pagany, which throw light on many of Williams's unresolved inner conflicts concerning the nature of creativity, the value of Europe to an American artist, and his role as a doctor/writer.","PeriodicalId":53869,"journal":{"name":"WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"80 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48514241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
