Based on Baldwin's years of study cataloging the Williams archives at SUNY/Buffalo and at Yale -- more than 20,000 sheets and rough drafts for poems, short stories, novels, plays, and Williams' ambitious epic poem, "Paterson," -- "To All Gentleness" presents a striking portrait of a man who managed to live two important lives, distinct yet driven by the same impulses of creativity and caring.
