William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) was a Puerto Rican and American poet and writer. He was a modernist, associated with the movement of imagism (Ezra Pound), and he wanted to make a fusion of painting and poetry. Some of his books' titles directly express this platform, i.e., " Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems". This book won him the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1963.
