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. This collection includes 82 works by the 1955 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, including such oft-studied compositions as "Sunday Morning," "Peter Quince at the Clavier," "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," and the title piece.

LiterRohde One of my favorite poems. The full text of the poems would not fit. The link will take you to the full text and what I think is a nice guide and discussion of the poem. 6y

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."
