Stevens attended the Reading Boys' High School, and enrolled in 1893 at Harvard College. During this period Stevens began to write for the Harvand Advocate, Trend, and Harriet Monroe's magazine Poetry. In his writing aspirations he was encouraged among others by George Santayana. Stevens's first play, THREE TRAVELLERS WATCH A SUNRISE, won that magazine's prize for verse drama in 1916. It was produced in the following year at New York's Provincetown Playhouse. After leaving Harvard without degree in 1900, Stevens worked as a reporter for the New York Tribune. He then entered New York Law School, graduated in 1903, and was admitted to the bar next year.

Life Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Stevens went to college at Harvard, after which he moved to New York City and briefly worked as a journalist.

More on Wallace Stevens From the Archives of The New York Times Talk With Mr. Stevens A New York Times interview with Wallace Stevens. Wallace Stevens, Noted Poet, Dead The New York Times obituary for Stevens. Reading and Writing: An Explorer of Earth Anatole Broyard wrote this piece about Stevens for the Book Review. REVIEWS: Harmonium "From one end of the book to the other there is not an idea that can vitally affect the mind, there is not a word that can arouse emotion. The volume is a glittering edifice of icicles. Brilliant as the moon, the book is equally dead." A Primitive Like an Orb "The current poem ... is still another manifestation of Mr. Stevens' more recent development toward a concentration on philosophic ideas, a more thorough attempt to make concrete the life of the imagination itself." Transport to Summer "Wallace Stevens continues to exhibit the fecundity which has made the last decade more prolific for him than all the rest of his previous career." The Auroras of Autumn "'The Auroras of Autumn' is a more reflective book, less given to verbal bravura 'a single voice in the boo-ha of the wind' but as full as ever of what he calls 'the secretions of insight.'" The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens "'The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens' is a triumph for the imagination . . . They are proof, as their author has said, that Poetry is one of the sanctions of life."
