William Carlos Williams was an American poet and physician known for his association with modernism and imagism. He practiced pediatrics and general medicine at Passaic General Hospital, later known as St. Mary’s General Hospital. Williams served as the hospital’s chief of pediatrics from 1924 until his death. He drew inspiration from his medical experiences for his poetry, particularly in works like “Spring and All” and his five-volume poem “Paterson.” Williams aimed to make poetry more accessible, connecting with readers on a relatable level and highlighting the beauty of everyday life through his writing.
