The Red Wheelbarrow" is a poem by American modernist poet William Carlos Williams. Originally published without a title, it was designated " XXII " in Williams' 1923 book Spring and All , a hybrid collection which incorporated alternating selections of free verse and prose.
His most anthologized poem is "The Red Wheelbarrow", an example of the Imagist movement's style and principles (see also "This Is Just to Say"). However, Williams, like his peer and friend Ezra Pound, had rejected the Imagist movement by the time this poem was published as part of Spring and All in 1923.
Spring and All is a hybrid work consisting of alternating sections of prose and free verse.It might best be understood as a manifesto of the imagination. The prose passages are a dramatic, energetic and often cryptic series of statements about the ways in which language can be renewed in such a way that it does not describe the world but recreates it.
