Books by Wallace Stevens

Wallace Stevens is for many readers the supreme poet of twentieth century America, his voice combining meditative speculation with what he called 'the essential gaudiness of poetry'. This book represents the range of his acheievement, from the lyrical inventions of Harmonium to the pondered large-scale and crafted masterpieces of his middle years.

Wallace's best poems, contained within this collection, have been described as the work of "someone sympathetic, magnanimous, brightly and deeply intelligent."
