Of Modern Poetry
Wallace Stevens
1942
Introduction
Wallace Stevens often created dialogues between the figures in his poems as they wrestled with intricate philosophical questions concerning the nature of reality. J. Hillis Miller in William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens,
writes that Stevens's poetry can be considered as one immense long meditative poem, broken somewhat arbitrarily into sections. This poem is the record of that unending dialogue of imagination and reality that was the life of the mind for Stevens.
The dialogue between imagination and reality is enacted in Of Modern Poetry,
one of the pieces in Wallace Stevens's Parts of a World (1942) and one of his most eloquent and thematically significant poems. The poem has been widely anthologized and can be found in The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens
