Repair
In his eighth book of poems, Williams continues to develop the possibilities of the long line for which he is so well known, but he includes some short lines here as well, recalling the work of his early books. The poems here often investigate consciousness--both in the psychological sense of the word and in the sense that suggests awareness of what`s around, an awareness for which Williams has received copious praise.
