"Wallace Stevens was the greatest but the least known poet of his generation. He was a remote and private figure, who rarely invited others to his home (when William Carlos Williams, who once called Stevens 'a monk,' visited him, he was put up by his host in a hotel). How can such a man be approached? How can we get a sense of the individual behind the poetry when he has left so few written documents? Peter Brazeau has found the answer. 'In 1975, some twenty years after Wallace Stevens' death,' he writes, 'I began interviewing everyone I could find who had known him, with the aim of preserving a record of the personality, habits, attitudes, sayings and doings of one of our greatest poets, as recalled by his contemporaries.' He has succeeded marvelously. In this oral biography, Mr. Brazeau presents the recollections of Stevens' business associates, fellow writers, family, friends, and servants. Each of the people interviewed offers a slightly different view of the great man. One remembers him as a distant figure in a 'four-piece suit,' another recalls him in a fistfight with Ernest Hemingway. From these different perspectives emerges a rounded portrait of the canny executive and diffident poet, a man caught in an unhappy marriage yet strongly loyal to his family, a man who found it difficult to communicate with others yet formed deep and lasting friendships--a difficult, contradictory, and complex character, endowed with shyness and generosity, fear and pride, and genius." [jacket copy] "Peter Brazeau has added a great deal to our knowledge of Wallace Stevens; and not the least of his accomplishments lies in the skill with which he has arranged the interviews and allowed his contributors to have their say with a minimum of interference and intrusion. His great contribution has been to find a perspective that permits the reader to make up his own mind about Stevens 'remembered,' or, more precisely, Stevens as remembered by his contemporaries. No one writing about Stevens in the future will be able to ignore this book."--Samuel French Morse. "PARTS OF A WORLD is an important first step in setting Stevens in his real setting. For too long, Stevens' poetry has been read as if it were written from nowhere--a grand poem, a Supreme Fiction in the great Emerson and Whitman tradition. Brazeau reminds us that Stevens was also a person and that life and art are related."--Marjorie Perloff. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine, enclosed in a near fine dust wrapper.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xv, 330 p. Chronology. Illustrations. Footnotes. Notes. Interview Log. Index. An incisive portrait of poet Wallace Stevens based on interviews with people who had known him--including family members, friends, business associates, fellow writers, and servants--captures the complex life and personality of this American literary giant. Wallace Stevens (October 2, 1879 - August 2, 1955) was an American modernist poet. He was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, educated at Harvard and then New York Law School, and spent most of his life working as an executive for an insurance company in Hartford, Connecticut. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his Collected Poems in 1955. Stevens's first period of writing begins with the 1923 publication of Harmonium, followed by a slightly revised and amended second edition in 1930. His second period occurred in the 11 years immediately preceding the publication of his Transport to Summer, when Stevens had written three volumes of poems including Ideas of Order, The Man with the Blue Guitar, Parts of a World, along with Transport to Summer. His third and final period began with the publication of The Auroras of Autumn in the early 1950s, followed by the release of his Collected Poems in 1954, a year before his death. Stevens's best-known poems include "The Auroras of Autumn", "Anecdote of the Jar", "Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock", "The Emperor of Ice-Cream", "The Idea of Order at Key West", "Sunday Morning", "The Snow Man", and "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird". The author spent more than five years talking with everyone who had known Stevens; using his tape-recorded interviews/ research into the Stevens archives, he offers a portrait of the poet. Peter Brazeau received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Connecticut and was for a time a professor of English at St. Joseph College in West Hartford. He has widely published articles in the professional journals and received grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Ingram Merrill Foundation, and other institutions to support his production of this biography.
