[Content Introduction]

Wallace Stevens was a central figure in 20th-century American modernist poetry. His poetry approached pure art, pure, ethereal, and rich in metaphysical thought. His early poems were like landscapes of the mind, with precise imagery reflecting subtle stirrings of the soul; his later poems, however, were filled with philosophical contemplation, as if echoing with philosophical resonance.

This book collects over 150 of the most characteristic poems from almost all of Stevens' collections, fully presenting the tension between imagination and reality, art and nature that defined Stevens as a "philosophical poet."
