Elizabeth Bishop Hart Crane Emily Dickinson T. S. Eliot ... Ezra Pound Wallace Stevens Walt Whitman William Carlos Williams The hero of Wallace Stevens's poetry is the human imagination. Like Emily Dickinson's, Stevens's sedate and uneventful outer life concealed a lush and adventurous inner one. Such adventures were for Stevens not an escape from reality but a journey toward a new reality. Although Stevens was no philosopherhe was a bold and brilliant poethe explored the workings of the human mind with a precision philosophers might envy.

The Dao of Wallace Stevens an amateur - 'one who loves' - looks at the poetry of wallace stevens, from a background of the humanities, and daoist studies WS Quote "Compare the silent rose of the sun And rain, the blood-rose living in its smell, With this paper, this dust. That states the point." ~ Wallace Stevens lovers of dao Archives September 2006 July 2006 June 2006 ... indian river, by wallace stevens the trade-wind jingles the rings in the nets around the racks by the docks on Indian River. it is the same jingle of the water among the roots under the banks of the palmettoes, it is the same jingle of the red-bird breasting the orange- trees out of the cedars. yet there is no spring in Florida, neither in boskage perdu, nor on the nunnery beaches. (from , p. 93) Another example of Stevens' 'Floridaphilia.' How he loves it! I can relate to his sense that there is some sort of subtle 'jingling' sound one can 'pick up' when one is in a very magical place in nature where there's a lot of life going on. Even in the desert, where there isn't exactly a 'jingle,' there is some sort of ethereal sound you can detect when you tune in to all the life that is happening there. But in a place like Florida, that is so wet, it must be very very musical. September 02, 2006

24. Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) From Houghton Mifflin Publishers, a brief guide for how to teach this difficult poet. http://college.hmco.com/english/heath/syllabuild/iguide/stevens.html

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) Contributing Editor: Linda W. Wagner-Martin Classroom Issues and Strategies The sheer difficulty of apprehending meaning from some of Stevens's poems turns many students away. Yet Stevens is one of the most apt voices to speak about the perfection, and the perfectibility, of the poem the supreme fiction in the writer's, and the reader's, lives. If students can read Stevens's poems well, they will probably be able to read anything in the text. The elusiveness of meaning is one key difficulty: Stevens's valiant attempts to avoid paraphrase, to lose himself in brilliant language, to slide into repetition and assonantal patterns without warning. His work demands complete concentration, and complete sympathy, from his readers. Most students cannot give poetry either of these tributes without some preparation. Close reading, usually aloud, helps. The well-known Stevens language magic has to be experienced, and since the poems are difficult, asking students to work on them alone, in isolation, is not the best tactic. Beginning with the poems by Stevens might make reading T. S. Eliot

Wallace Stevens Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird I Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of the blackbird. II I was of three minds, Like a tree In which there are three blackbirds. III The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime. IV A man and a woman Are one. A man and a woman and a blackbird Are one. V I do not know which to prefer, The beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendoes, The blackbird whistling Or just after. VI Icicles filled the long window With barbaric glass. The shadows of the blackbird Crossed it, to and fro. The mood Traced in the shadow An indecipherable cause. VII O thin men of Haddam, Why do you imagine golden birds? Do you not see how the blackbird Walks around the feet Of the women about you? VIII I know noble accents And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved In what I know.

National Book Award Classics The following essay appeared in the June, 2003 issue of Ingram's Advance e-letter, as part of National Book Award Classics, a monthly series of essays by Neil Baldwin, highlighting past Winners of the National Book Award. Wallace Stevens The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) Winner of the 1955 National Book Award for Poetry "Now, at seventy-five, as I look back on the little that I have done and as I turn the pages of my own poems gathered together in a single volume, I have no choice except to paraphrase the old verse that says that it is not what I am, but what I aspired to be that comforts me. It is not what I have written but what I should have written that constitutes my true poems." And now, coming up on half a century since Wallace Stevens made this characteristic pronouncement in accepting the National Book Award, we beg to differ. How much more lyrical, how much more oracular, how much more evocative could his poems possibly have become beyond the heights they had already achieved?

His father was a lawyer who wrote occasional poems and newspaper articles. While a special student at Harvard from 1897 to 1900, Stevens was preparing to become a journalist. One of his friends was the poet Witter Bynner; another was Professor George Santayana, poet and philosopher. Stevens became president of the student poetry magazine, the Harvard Advocate . His reading then focused on Coleridge, Nietzsche, and Bergson. He was emphatically averse to traditional Christianity. After failing as a journalist, he graduated from the New York Law School and practiced law unsuccessfully with several New York firms before joining the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company in 1932, becoming the vice-president after 1934. His wife as of 1909, Elsie Moll, modeled for two United States coins which are no longer in circulation. Their daughter, Holly, was born in 1924. A tall dignified presence, Stevens often composed poems in his head during his cherished long walk to work. His first book of poems, Harmonium , published by Alfred A. Knopf, sold few copies. He was forty-four years old and stopped writing poems. Knopf later issued a new edition and also published additional runs of new poems in quantities of one thousand books:

Wallace Stevens - (1879-1955) Reading By Kyle Jentes I. Biography Wallace Stevens was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, on October 2, 1879, the second of five children of Garrett Barcalow Stevens, a farmer's son, and Margaretha Catharine (Zeller) Stevens, the daughter of a shoemaker. Both of his parents were of Dutch-German descent, and both had become schoolteachers when very young. His father had then studied law and been admitted to practice at the age of twenty-four. Largely at the insistence of his mother, who read Bible selections to the family every night and sang and played hymns every Sunday evening, Stevens attended Sunday school at the First Presbyterian Church in Reading and the grammar school of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. Between his mother's piety and his father's business ethic, his parents created a family atmosphere that was solidly and conventionally Protestant and upwardly striving middle-class. More than any other modern poet, Stevens was concerned with the intensity of the imagination. He wrote poems in and out of his home, taking up almost all of his time leaving little for anything else. Though now considered one of the major American poets of the century, he wasn't truly recognized until the publication of his

Wallace Stevens and Modern Art: From the Armory Show to Abstract Expressionism. Art Journal, Spring, 1994 Bates, Milton J. "The Emperor of Hartford." A review of Bates' Wallace Stevens: A Mythology of Self (Univ. of Calif. Press, 1985). Reviewer Dana Gioia writes "When asked to name the greatest French poet of the 19th century, Andre Gide replied, ''Victor Hugo - helas!'' Some American readers, if asked to choose their foremost modern poet, might echo Gide's perplexity by answering, ''Wallace Stevens, alas.'' For though Stevens ranks high among the most deserving candidates, he hardly offers Americans the sort of national poet they might like. Affluent, aloof and undemocratic, Stevens so deeply contradicted the available stereotypes of the American poet that for years bewildered critics inaccurately classified him as sui generis, an inexplicable hybrid of two seemingly irreconcilable sides of the American experience - business and poetry."
