In his early years, Williams concentrated his literary talents just as intently on poetry as on plays. Watching over him during this critical learning period was the author of this book, a close friend of Williams, who met Williams in St. Louis as both were embarking on careers as writers. The book is at once the author's critical analysis of Williams's early work, a brief biography of Williams during his development stages as a writer, and a meditation on his friend's career.Electronic books.812/.54BSmith William Jay1918-257504MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463519203321My friend Tom2221833UNINA
