Sobre este artículo

"William Carlos Williams once said there were "no ideas but in things." The Imagist Poets wrote in common rather than exalted language, and described the particular characteristics of the small things they found in the world as objects of wonder. The images they render are uninflected, the verses clear and clean, and without sentiment. Like Wessel they are radical and modest., they both use the most essential means to construct their art, and in doing so redirect a way of making art,. It might be said that Williams and Wessel both describe the marvelous with apparent impersonality." (Phillips). Beautifully illustrated with 133 plates of Wessel's distinct b/w and fourteen color photographs. List of plates and biography at rear.
