William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams was an American poet closely associated with modernism and imagism.

He was imprisoned in the Verseburg jail for refusing to rhyme and demanding free verse. Although he is capable of rhyming, he simply chooses not to. With Binky, he escapes from the jail in a red wheelbarrow by traveling through a tunnel hidden behind a Rita Hareworth poster. As they part ways, Williams encourages Binky to keep his pursuit of the Purple Orange, while accidentally making a rhyme.
