William Carlos Williams fu un poeta americano strettamente associato al modernismo e all'imagismo, pur esercitando la professione medica come pediatra e medico generico. Nonostante la sua occupazione principale come medico, Williams intraprese una prolifica carriera letteraria, dedicandosi a racconti, poesie, opere teatrali, romanzi, saggi critici, un'autobiografia, traduzioni e corrispondenza. Scriveva spesso di notte e trascorreva i fine settimana interagendo con artisti e scrittori d'avanguardia a New York, tracciando un percorso distintivo separato dai suoi colleghi poeti. La sua vasta produzione esplorò la vita quotidiana con un acuto senso dell'immagine e del ritmo, rendendolo una voce significativa nella letteratura americana.

Paterson is both a place--the New Jersey city in whom the person (the poet's own life) and the public (the history of the region) are combined. Originally four books (published individually between 1946 and 1951), the structure of Paterson (in Dr. Williams' words) "follows the course of teh Passaic River" from above the great falls to its entrance into the sea. The unexpected Book Five, published in 1958, affirms the triumphant life of the imagination, in spite of age and death. This revised edition has been meticulously re-edited by Christopher MacGowan, who has supplied a wealth of notes and explanatory material.
