书籍介绍
这是一部让读者又爱又"崩溃"的诗集。多数人在短评里坦言"暂时还不是很能理解"，却仍相信"有一天会喜欢的"——这种迟疑恰恰指向史蒂文斯诗作的核心难度：他并不在诗里讲述一个现成的故事，而是让"诗本身"成为主角，真实题材反而退居其次。读者在摘录里反复捕捉到的，正是诗人对"现实与想象""何为诗歌"一而终、越到创作晚期越清晰简练的执念。作为美国文库出品的权威全集，它几乎收纳了史蒂文斯全部诗集、书信与散文，notebook中散落着精辟的诗学洞见。它不适合寻求轻松阅读的读者，却适合愿意在"人的沉思就是一种孤独"里反复咀嚼、并渴望理解一位诗人如何以语言建构"真理"的人。
精彩摘录
- "One is always writing about two things at the same time in poetry and it is this that produces the tension characteristic of poetry.

- "The Reader All night I sat reading a book, Sat reading as if in a book Of sombre pages. It was autumn and falling stars Covered the shrivelled forms Crouched in the moonlight. No Lamp was burning as I read, A voice was mumbling, "Everything Falls back to coldness, Even the musky muscadines, The melo"
用户评论
感觉艾略特的地位会逐渐被史蒂文斯取代
很全，notebook里也有许多精辟的观点。
Let your golden hands wave fastly and be gay
收录的算比较全，后面还有部分书信
最喜欢的美国诗人 也收集了书信和散文。美国文库出一版 我就买一版本 纸张很舒服。
读过Joan Richardson <How to live, what to do : thirteen ways of looking at Wallace Stevens>

因为上课需要，按照出版时间从每一部诗集里挑出一部分来读，不由得觉出诗人对何为现实、何为想象，何为诗歌有着从一而终的明确认识，而且这种认识越接近创作生涯的末尾就越是表达得清晰而简练。如果通读下来，读者可能会一边崩溃一边拍手叫好。另，诗人好像对尼采那一套很痴迷。
