“At just 16 words, “The Red Wheelbarrow,” William Carlos Williams’s 1923 poem, is an unlikely masterpiece…Williams, appearing to write here about nothing more significant than a little wheelbarrow in the yard near some poultry, managed to make a claim on posterity with his writerly snapshot of an outdoor scene. In a year when millions have been homebound by a pandemic, “The Red Wheelbarrow” reminds us that we can gaze out our windows and find meaning, too—even if the view, at first glance, seems unimposing.” - Danny Heitman
