An interesting New York Times article by Jennifer Schuessler, July 6, 2015, about the iconic poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/07/books/the-secret-of-william-carlos-williamss-the-red-wheelbarrow.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0


The discovery doesn’t change the meaning, he (William Logan) said, but “knowing there was a man with a particular wheelbarrow and some chickens does help us understand the world the poem was embedded in.”

You're prolly right. I am going to look for the essay and see what else may have been revealed. Perhaps the family may provide some more insights as well, as the commemoration comes closer.
