Chinese poetry has exerted a great influence on American modernist poets, especially on William Carlos Williams (1883-1963). William Carlos Williams’ The Widow’s Lament in Springtime shares some connections with Chinese Boudoir poems in theme, image, and technique. This paper tends to discuss the influence of Chinese Boudoir poems on William Carlos Williams based on his creating of The Widow’s Lament in Springtime, which provides a new perspective for studying the communication of Chinese and American poetry.
