Beschreibung

In this collection of essays, consummate poet Wallace Stevens reflects upon his art. His aim is not to produce a work of criticism or philosophy, or a mere discussion of poetic technique. As he explains in his introduction, his ambition in these various pieces, published in different times and places, aimed higher than that, in the direction of disclosing "poetry itself, the naked poem, the imagination manifesting itself in its domination of words." Stevens proves himself as eloquent and scintillating in prose as in poetry, as he both analyzes and demonstrates the essential act of repossessing reality through the imagination.

Über den Autor

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) was an American modernist poet celebrated for his richly imaginative verse that explored the interplay between reality and the imagination. Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, he studied at Harvard and later earned a law degree from New York Law School, eventually becoming an executive at the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company. Despite his demanding business career, Stevens produced some of the 20th century's most acclaimed poetry, including Harmonium (1923) and The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens (1954), which won the Pulitzer Prize. His works often meditate on art, nature, and the search for meaning in a secular world. Today, he is remembered as one of the central figures of American modernist poetry, blending philosophical depth with lyrical beauty.
