<div>Published to coincide with the 125th anniversary of William Carlos Williams' birth, Neil Baldwin&#8217;s thoughtful biography captures the rich life of the preeminent poet who was also a beloved country doctor. Baldwin writes movingly of the small-town New Jersey folk who came to see Dr. Williams in his daily professional routine. He likewise details the prolific writer&#8217;s complex nightlife within the Bohemian circles of Greenwich Village and the long and loving friendships he shared with literary superstars such as Ezra Pound and Hilda Doolittle. Based on Baldwin&#8217;s years of study cataloging the Williams archives at SUNY/Buffalo and at Yale &#151; more than 20,000 sheets and rough drafts for poems, short stories, novels, plays, and Williams&#8217; ambitious epic poem, "Paterson," &#151; <i>To All Gentleness</i> presents a striking portrait of a man who managed to live two important lives, distinct yet driven by the same impulses of creativity and caring.</div>
