Considering William Carlos Wlilliams' family background, he is greatly influenced by three women. These women are Williams' paternal grandmother Emily Wellcome, his mother Elena Hoheb, and his wife Florence Herman. Among these three women, Emily Wellcome is deeply inscribed as the first muse in Williams. He identifies Emily with his poetic unconsciousness and Emily's influences go on through his entire life. She appears as subject matter in many of the works of Williams' In “The Wanderer” which is the genesis of Paterson, Emily and Williams are represented as Demeter and Kore respectively based on the Demeter/Kore myth. Emily, appearing as an old muse in this poem, possesses Demeter's power which unites all opposite elements such as life and death, good and evil, virgin and whore etc. In “The Wanderer”, Williams is the novitiate, a Kore figure wandering the deserted streets of a hellish modern world. But in the guidance of Emily, the poet experiences his death and rebirth in the ritual of immersion. In addition, the theme and structure of “The Wanderer” is very similar to the ‘The Great Round’ defined by Erich Neumann. I insist that Emily's appearing in Williams' many works plays an important role as a muse who gives a new vision to the poet. In short, Williams has a circular and monistic world view escaping the linear and dualistic world view. Accordingly, Emily inscribed as old muse gives the new direction of poetics to Williams.
