Notes to Verse: I
The history of composers setting poetry to music runs deep, stretching from Palestrina to Prokofiev. Just as composers draw on poetry for inspiration, music has inspired many poets as well.

They also discuss the extent to which music and poetry collide in Williams' work and how Williams finds music in a poem.
