Wallace Stevens: The Making of Harmonium

The years between 1900 and 1915 were a crucial period in Wallace Stevens’ poetic career. But until Robert Buttel was given access to 30 manuscript poems written during this time, these years constituted the largest gap in our knowledge of Stevens’ artistic development. These poems, as well as those printed in the Harvard Advocate, are presented in a sequence which allows the reader to view the changes in Stevens’ art during this period.

Originally published in 1967.
