Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. In his introduction, Milton Bates writes that Wallace Stevens's commonplace book is a repository of things made up and things come upon In two slender notebooks, Stevens pursues an examination of his life, ideas, and art that he also pursues in this same examination in his poems, lectures, and letters. Entries regarding the hero, the social role of the writer, the nature of modernism, and the influence of the past appear just about where one would expect to find them between 1932 and 1953; entries regarding imagination and reality are pervasive. Many subjects claimed Stevens's attention during these especially productive years of his poetic career. Bound in black cloth with white titling to spine. Contents include acknowledgments, introduction, Cahier I, Cahier II, Appendix, and Index. In a gray dust jacket with titling and small photo of Stevens on front cover. Titling also on black spine. Book's pages include facsimiles of text pages from the notebooks, accompanied by an accurate and clearly laid out transcription (from the dust jacket). A fascinating portrait of this famed poet who felt compelled to seek an intellectual and spiritual center that becomes a theory of poetry. In about fine condition. 117 pages.
