William Carlos Williams appears in the Epstein documents as the subject of an educational video project involving Woody Allen. The mentions relate to academic course materials on Modernism, specifically focusing on Williams's poem "This Is Just to Say."
William Carlos Williams (1883-1963) was a renowned American poet who died decades before Epstein's activities. His name appears in these documents exclusively in the context of educational content creation. The mentions describe plans to edit footage from a conversation with Woody Allen about Williams's famous poem "This Is Just to Say" for use in Harvard courses on Modernism and poetry. These appear to be email communications between academics (likely including Elisa New, a Harvard professor) discussing course materials and attempting to secure permissions or participation from notable figures like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers for educational video content.
Key Highlights
- •All mentions relate to academic course development for Harvard classes on Modernism and "The Poetry of Art, Sport, and Play"
