The Emperor of Ice-Cream and Other Poems | Wallace Stevens

2 posts | 1 read

Witty, ironic, and thought-provoking, the experimental style of Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) forever changed the landscape of modern verse.

The Emperor of Ice-Cream and Other Poems | Wallace Stevens

One of my favorite semantic headaches, ever. To discuss: to be vs to seem (modernism and romanticism meet). Themes: indignity of death, what of ruling over "lite" domain (title!), shades of Dickinson. Pair w "The Snow Man."
