Main Page Recent changes Edit this page Page history ... Printable version Not logged in Log in Help Wallace Stevens From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Wallace Stevens October 2 August 2 ) was an American Modernist poet . Stevens lived most of his life in Hartford, Connecticut , where he worked for the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company, in which he rose to the position of vice president. His poetry is noted for the extreme refinement of its language and its oblique imagery. It shows the influence of the Aesthetic Movement and of Imagism , but possesses its own highly distinctive intellectual character, often concentrating on the way language freezes experiences into carefully wrought form. These ideas are expressed in poems such as "The Man With the Blue Guitar," "The Emperor of Ice Cream," "Peter Quince at the Clavier," and "The Idea of Order at Key West." Poems such as "Loneliness in Jersey City" also are skillful examples of plausible language without denotative meaning. Edit this page Discuss this page Page history What links here ...

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.

Wallace Stevens For many critics, Wallace Stevens is the most 'Keatsian' of all 20th century poets. Stevens (1879-1955) was born in Reading, Pennsylvania; he attended Harvard University as an undergraduate, and received a law degree from New York University. In 1904, having been admitted to the bar, he was hired by the Hartford (Conn.) Accident and Indemnity Company. His first four poems were published in 1914, but it wasn't until 1923 that he published his first book, titled Harmonium . Fame, however, did not come to him until just before his death over thirty years later. Stevens was a disciple of the English Romantics, but he was also a wholly original talent. Like Keats, his poetic philosophy centered around the power of imagination, and its transformative effect on human experience. But unlike Keats, Stevens never attempted to make a career from poetry; he walked to and from his office every day and lived quietly and successfully as an employee, and later vice president, of the Hartford Co. But while he lived such a quiet life, he was also composing some of the most beautiful poetry of the 20th century - or, indeed, any century.

He occupied himself on this pedestrian commute by composing poetry in his head. Even on weekends Stevens, who never learned to drive, enjoyed long walks in the city.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History STEVENS, WALLACE , poet, aesthetician, and insurance lawyer. Stevens's poetry has been the subject of more books of formalist, rhetorical, psychological, and poststructuralist criticism than that of any other modern American poet, though he published relatively little and mostly cryptic lyrical poetry. His first book, Harmonium (1923), appeared when he was forty-four. His major poems are collected in two volumes, Collected Poems (1954, which won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award) and Opus Posthumous (1957); he also published a slim volume of essays on aesthetics, The Necessary Angel His early short lyrics and several mature epic-like lyrics are characterized by stunning verbal mastery and what might be called a "unified field theory" of poetry, which was for him all of philosophy and experience, the ordinary mystified and magnified. Stevens generally kept aloof from the political turbulence of the 1930s, although his unfortunate attraction to the romantic individualism of Benito Mussolini and his reactionary politics emerge in his personal correspondence. His measured stand on the artistic battles of the day appears in his stylized and precise poetic meditations about the act of writing poetry. Stevens's distance from the literary wars of his time is explained in part by his career as an insurance lawyer in Hartford, Connecticut. After winning many literary awards in three years at Harvard and a year as a paid journalist, he earned a law degree at New York University in 1903. He had many friends among the New York cognoscenti and was a serious modern art collector. In later years, in public readings and lectures, he spoke of the power of figurative language to transform the world.
