His aim is not to produce a work of criticism or philosophy, or a mere discussion of poetic technique. As he explains in his introduction, his ambition in these various pieces, published in different times and places, aimed higher than that, in the direction of disclosing \"poetry itself, the naked poem, the imagination manifesting itself in its domination of words.\" Stevens proves himself as eloquent and scintillating in prose as in poetry, as he both analyzes and demonstrates the essential act of repossessing reality through the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWallace Stevens\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, in 1879 and died in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1955. \u003ci\u003eHarmonium\u003c\/i\u003e, his first volume of poems, was published in 1923, and was followed by \u003ci\u003eIdeas of Order\u003c\/i\u003e (1936), \u003ci\u003eThe Man with the Blue Guitar\u003c\/i\u003e (1937), \u003ci\u003eParts of a World\u003c\/i\u003e (1942), \u003ci\u003eTransport to Summer\u003c\/i\u003e (1947), \u003ci\u003eThe Auroras of Autumn\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), \u003ci\u003eThe Necessary Angel\u003c\/i\u003e (a volume of essays, 1951), \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens\u003c\/i\u003e (1954), and \u003ci\u003eOpus Posthumous\u003c\/i\u003e (1957; revised and corrected in 1989).
