July 6, 2023Berket and the Stars
A day on the boulevards chosen out of ten years of
student poverty! One best day out of ten good ones.
Berket in high spirits–“Ha, oranges! Let’s have one!”
And he made to snatch an orange from the vender’s cart.
Now so clever was the deception, so nicely timed
to the full sweep of certain wave summits,
that the rumor of the thing has come down through
three generations–which is relatively forever!
William Carlos Williams
William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) was an American poet and physician who was associated with the Modernist movement. He is known for his use of everyday language and for his experiments with form and style. His most famous works include "Spring and All" and "The Red Wheelbarrow." Williams was also a mentor to many younger poets, including Allen Ginsberg.
