An Entity of Type: poem, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Paterson is an epic poem by American poet William Carlos Williams published, in five volumes, from 1946 to 1958. The origin of the poem was an eighty-five line long poem written in 1926, after Williams had read and been influenced by James Joyce's novel Ulysses. As he continued writing lyric poetry, Williams spent increasing amounts of time on Paterson, honing his approach to it both in terms of style and structure. While The Cantos of Ezra Pound and The Bridge by Hart Crane could be considered partial models, Williams was intent on a documentary method that differed from both these works, one that would mirror "the resemblance between the mind of modern man and the city."

  • Paterson is an epic poem by American poet William Carlos Williams published, in five volumes, from 1946 to 1958. The origin of the poem was an eighty-five line long poem written in 1926, after Williams had read and been influenced by James Joyce's novel Ulysses. As he continued writing lyric poetry, Williams spent increasing amounts of time on Paterson, honing his approach to it both in terms of style and structure. While The Cantos of Ezra Pound and The Bridge by Hart Crane could be considered partial models, Williams was intent on a documentary method that differed from both these works, one that would mirror "the resemblance between the mind of modern man and the city." While Williams might or might not have said so himself, commentators such as Christoper Beach and Margaret Lloyd have called Paterson his response to T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land and Pound's Cantos. The long gestation time of Paterson before its first book was published was due in large part to Williams's honing of prosody outside of conventional meter and his development of an overall structure that would stand on a par with Eliot and Pound yet remain endemically American, free from past influences and older forms. The poem is composed of five books and a fragment of a sixth book. The five books of Paterson were published separately in 1946, 1948, 1949, 1951 and 1958, and the entire work collected under one cover in 1963. A revised edition was released in 1992. This corrected a number of printing and other textual errors in the original, especially discrepancies between prose citations in their original sources and how they appeared in Williams's poem. Paterson is set in Paterson, New Jersey, whose long history allowed Williams to give depth to the America he wanted to write about, and the Paterson Falls, which powered the town's industry, became a central image and source of energy for the poem.

  • Paterson är ett diktverk av den amerikanske poeten William Carlos Williams. Verket består av fem böcker och ytterligare ett utkast till en sjätte bok. Dessa fem böcker publicerades var för sig åren 1946-1958 och hela verket kom ut i sin helhet 1963. Det betraktas som Williams centrala verk. Hans tidiga essäsamling In the American Grain (1925) har omtalats som en inledning till denna senare diktcykel med dess pånyttskrivande av amerikansk historia. Den är lika mycket ett poetiskt monument över staden Paterson som en personifikation av samma stad. Som helhet är dock diktens tre huvudsakliga ämnesområden människan (eller mannen) Paterson och staden Paterson samt identitet. Diktens tema koncentrerar sig på moderniseringens process och dess följder. (sv)
