A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams

40 pp. | Eerdmans | August, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5302-8 $17.00
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. This picture book biography tells of the doctor/poet who kept his childhood observations alive by writing about them. Typeset fragments of Williams's most famous works ("so much depends / upon / a red wheel / barrow") dance across many of the pages. Comfortably cluttered mixed-media collages convey his similarly messy creative process. Reading list, timeline.
