William Carlos Williams was an acquaintance of Plath's and his influence on her poetry perhaps may be seen in "Among the Narcissi." It could pass for a poem of the Imagist movement with its non-traditional choice of subject matter, precisely chosen words, and clear image. The employment of narcissi (pictured), thought steeped in mythology, is not used for its mythological allusion, and offers a refreshing change in floral metaphor versus the outmoded rose.
