The Hunter In The Snow
By William Carlos Williams
When I first started to read this poem I didn’t expect the
whole piece to revolve around the actual image accompanying it. I just assumed
they were both related with the whole hunter and snow aspects. Anyhow, I like
the poem a lot because it acts as a detailed description of the painting and
its subject matter while also being a poem as well. I’d like to think there’s a
collection out there of various paintings with their descriptions done as a
poem. An awesome two in one if I may say so. Literally you can read the poem
and it gives you a good image of what’s going on in the painting to a T. The
size of the poem is also quite lovely because it’ long enough to get the whole
image of the painting described through poetic means and short enough to keep
your attention.
