Book Description

Despite the many books written about him, Stevens remains a difficult poet, whose notorious injunction - 'Poetry must resist the intelligence almost successfully' - seems to haunt all his work, and especially the long poems. This study presents a close reading of Stevens' seven longest poems including 'The Auroras of Autumn' and 'An Ordinary Evening in New Haven'.
