Synopsis "in the winter of cities (in English)"

Few writers achieve success in more than one genre, and yet if Tennessee Williams had never written a single play he would still be known as a distinguished poet. The excitement, compassion, lyricism, and humor that epitomize his writing for the theater are all present in his poetry. Tennessee Williams's fame as a playwright has unjustly overshadowed his accomplishment in poetry. This paperback edition of In The Winter of Cities-his collected poems to 1962-permits a wider audience to know Williams the poet. The poems in this volume range from songs and short lyrics to personal statements of the greatest intensity and power. They are rich in imagery and illuminated by the psychological intuition which we know so well from Williams's plays.

(Misisipi, 1911 - Nueva York, 1983) Thomas Lanier Williams III más conocido por el nombre artístico Tennessee Williams, fue un destacado dramaturgo estadounidense. Licenciado en Filosofía y Letras en la Universidad de Iowa, en 1948 ganó el Premio Pulitzer de teatro por Un tranvía llamado Deseo, y en 1955 por La gata sobre el tejado de zinc. Los críticos del género sostienen que Williams escribía en estilo gótico sureño. Sus personajes se hallan frecuentemente ajenos a los convencionalismos sociales. Su obra es conocida porque muchas fueron llevadas al cine, con guiones del mismo Tennessee Williams en la mayoría de los casos.
