canary — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 16:09:53 -0500

A new trade paperback edition of this critically-acclaimed title has just been published by InPrint Editions/Black Classic Press in anticipation of William Carlos Williams' 125th birthday.

The richly-illustrated book (including vintage photographs from the Williams family archives) includes an illuminating new Preface by Neil Baldwin, as well as an Introduction by William Eric Williams, MD.

Neil talked about WCW for an hour with Keri Miller on her Minnesota Public Radio/MIDMORNING Show, August 14th. That evening, he gave a talk, read some favorite WCW poems, and answered questions at the Minneapolis Public Library.

Susan Stamberg writes in The New York Times Book Review that To All Gentleness is "...a deftly-written portrait. Neil Baldwin shows us a man who found joy in the noises of daily life, and who put poetry together 'with as much painstaking care as he took in the delivery of a new baby."
