Chapter 7: People Alone Stevens

Wallace Stevens (1879—1955)

Wallace Stevens spent his professional life in business rather than academia. He wrote most of his poems after the age of fifty, but he included "The Emperor of Ice-Cream" and "Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock," both earlier poems, in the first edition of Harmonium in 1923. Some of his poetic collections are a second version of Harmonium (1931), The Auroras of Autumn (1950), and Collected Poems (1954).
