He was not afraid of using Carlos, he could have been W.C. Williams or William Karl Williams, etc but instead he was himself in all his Latinoness. He was a Latino poet, after all.
Let's look at this poem. Why pick a red wheelbarrow? It represents farming and farmers when he lived, in the 20th century. It carried a lot and helped farmers with their tough work. I can understand. Why was it next to white chickens and glazed with rain? I dunno. If the poet was here, he could tell you. I'll try. Always out in the elements, like rain or cold snow, glazed
with rain represents this. The red wheelbarrow and white chickens is a relief to a red wheelbarrow so you see
the color red and the color white. So much depends on it. We depend on things like that. We put our hope in red wheelbarrows in all kinds of hot or cold weather to feed us. God bless you, Matt McCabe mccabematthewr@gmail.com
