This was a nice little collection of poems which serves as a nice introduction to Williams. At just 55 pages, it leaves you wanting more, but doesn't overwhelm the reader either.
My favorite poems were:
From Al Que Quiere! 1917
Tract
A Portrait in Greys

From Sour Grapes
Thursday

The poetry is simple in language and forgoes complex rhyming schemes. What results is poetry that captures you with the subject matter and appreciation for things not normally noticed - leaves, grass, people, etc. This bare approach to poetry brings power to the words, set in such a stark format.
