C.K. Williams (1936-2015) was the most challenging American poet of his generation, a poet of intense and searching originality who made lyric sense out of the often brutal realities of everyday life. His poems are startlingly intense anecdotes on love, death, secrets and wayward thought, examining the inner life in precise, daring language. This was the first retrospective of Williams' work from Bloodaxe, published at the same time as a new collection, Flesh and Blood, in 1988, and later followed by New and Selected Poems (1995) and Collected Poems (2006).
