Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems is a 1962 book of poems by the American modernist poet/writer William Carlos Williams.[1] It was Williams's final book,[2] for which he posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1963.[3] Two previously-published collections of poetry are included: The Desert Music and Other Poems from 1954 and Journey to Love from 1955.[4]

Pieter Brueghel the Elder was a Flemish painter (born c. 1525-1530, died 1569),[5] famous for pictures of peasant life. This book opens with the title cycle of ten poems (the last poem is in three parts), each based on a Brueghel painting.[2]
