description: "William Carlos Williams was an American-Puerto Rican poet and physician closely associated with modernism and imagism. His Spring and All (1923) was written in the wake of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land (1922). In his five-volume poem Paterson (1946–1958), he took Paterson, New Jersey as \"my 'case' to work up. It called for a poetry such as I did not know, it was my duty to discover or make such a context on the 'thought.'\" Some of his best-known poems, \"This Is Just to Say\" and \"The Red Wheelbarrow\", are reflections on the everyday. Other poems reflect the influence of the visual arts. He, in turn, influenced the visual arts; his poem \"The Great Figure\" inspired the painting I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold by Charles Demuth. Williams was awarded a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems (1962)."
