Mike Weaver has finely drawn these concerns together in his discussion of science and poetry in Williams’ early work. There, we find out that Williams requested a copy of C.P. Steinmetz’ book on relativity in 1926 and that he was given a copy of Whitehead’s Science and the Modern World in December, 1926.  Williams wrote in that copy: “Finished reading it at sea, Sept. 26, 1927--A milestone surely in my career, should I have the force and imagination to go on with my work” (Weaver 47, 48 n.2). Because Whitehead’s science of reality influences stance and, thereby, form in so powerful a poet as Williams, it is fair to say that the currency of Whitehead in poetry has something like a date just there.

You have to be able to speak to yourself in words that surprise you. If you speak to yourself the way you’re always speaking to yourself, you’ll find you’re the biggest fucking bore in the world…Language must always remain the strongest. I think it’s true in conversation. I think it’s certainly true in writing. Poetry’s greatest adventure is always to stay within that lifeline that is never quite yours but it’s a lifeline that moves everybody. It’s your love affair. Language is your love affair.
