Published in 1921, the collection includes poems such as \"A Widow's Lament in Springtime\", \"The Great Figure\", \"Complaint\", and \"Queen-Ann's-Lace\". Williams was still struggling to find his audience at the time that he published \u003cem\u003eSour Grapes\u003c\/em\u003e and he was forced to pay for some, if not all, of the publishing expenses himself. As a book, it is highly representative of Williams's early writing. The book is filled out with improvisational pieces that Williams seems to have thrown together in the spare moments that he stole from his medical practice. Like most of Williams' early works, \u003cem\u003eSour Grapes\u003c\/em\u003e was ignored by most critics at the time, but it was well received by Kenneth Burke in \u003cem\u003eThe Dial\u003c\/em\u003e in February 1922.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750573572384,"sku":"9781684221271","price":8.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a27470b60d5fb4054f79236b512ed3c6.webp?v=1779953560","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/sour-grapes-a-book-of-poems-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
