Stevens, Wallace (1879–1955), American poet. His first volume of poems,
Harmonium (1923), containing ‘Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird’, was followed by other collections (including
Ideas of Order, 1935;
The Man with the Blue Guitar and Other Poems, 1937;
Notes towards a Supreme Fiction, 1942;
The Auroras of Autumn, 1950;
Collected Poems, 1954) which slowly brought him recognition, but it was not until his last years that his enigmatic, elegant, intellectual, and occasionally startling meditations on order and the imagination, on reality, appearance, and art, gained the high reputation that they now enjoy.
