Almost exact contemporaries, they met in New York in 1914 at a formative point in their development as poets. These collections of Stevens and Williams, about 250 items assembled over the past twenty years include fascinating and unique items ranging from each of Stevens's and Williams's school days in the 1890s throughout their lives until shortly before Williams's death in 1963.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a catalogue of the exhibition at the Grolier Club, January 16–February 23, 2019, photographically illustrated and with essays by biographer Paul Mariani, poets Paul Muldoon and Daniel Halpern, and collector Alan Klein.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIlluminating the parallel and overlapping careers and relationships of Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams, the exhibition juxtaposes the two poets with unique material on view for the first time.
