Abstract
The author considers a slidework project by Robert Smithson entitled Hotel Palenque as an introduction to the work of poet William Carlos Williams. Both the aesthetics of Smithson’s project and the theoretical quandaries it brings into focus have a lot in common with what Williams was doing in the late ‘teens and early twenties, coining a radically new style for himself and simultaneously engaging meta-poetic questions in his essays, his book of improvisations, Kora in Hell, as well as in the prose passages included in the first edition of his famous volume of poetry – Spring and All. Intermezzo: Robert Smithson’s Hotel Palenque.
