Williams was intrigued enough to write back. Their intense epistolary relationship, lasting almost a decade and little known up to now, is chronicled in this edition of their letters. Rayaprol returned to India and lived a quiet life as a civil engineer. Yet his commitment to poetry, spurred by Dr. Williams's long-distance mentoring, never faltered, and the three collections he published eventually gained him a lasting position in the canon of postcolonial Anglophone poetry in India. Rich in personal details, feelings, and moods, the Rayaprol-Williams correspondence is particularly significant as it provides original and valuable information about transnational literary modernism in the context of American cultural influence during the Cold War as well as the role played by US philanthropic organizations and their relationship to overt and covert CIA operations in India. -- Back cover. 600 10 $a Williams, William Carlos, $d 1883-1963 $v Correspondence. 600 10 $a Rayaprol, Srinivas $v Correspondence. 600 17 $a Williams, William Carlos, $d 1883-1963. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036533 650 0 $a Poets, American $y 20th century $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Poetry $x Authorship. 700 1 $a Williams, William Carlos, $d 1883-1963, $e author. 700 1 $a KraÌtli, Graziano, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Williams, William Carlos, 1883-1963. $t Why should I write a poem now. $d Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2018 $z 9780826359971 $w (DLC) 2018008766 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191121023704.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502032225.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A53D372550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
