    <body><![CDATA[As a doctor he met a lot of people and he related to most of them and wrote about the experience; also about his everyday life. Red wheel barrow, plums in the fridge, etc. He was a physical sort of guy.

    <body><![CDATA[I do not enjoy Williams that much. I've tried to make myself like him, but just can't. His language is too sparse for me. The poem that sticks out in my mind as an example of what I don't like in poetry is &quot;The Red Wheelbarrow.&quot; I can't stand the emptiness of his poetry; he needs more lang...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56700481">more...</a>]]></body>
