      abstract = {Wallace Stevenss musicality is so profound that scholars  have only begun to grasp his ties to the art of music or  the music of his own poetry. In this study, two long-time  specialists present a polyphonic composition in which they  pursue various interlocking perspectives. Their case  studies demonstrate how music as a temporal art form may  affect a poetic of ephemerality, sensuous experience, and  affective intensification. Such a poetic, they argue,  invites flexible interpretations that respond to poetry as  an art of textual performance. How did Stevens enact the  relation between music and memory? How can we hear his  verse as a form of melody-making? What was specific to his  ways of recording birdsong? Have we been missing the latent  music of Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler, and Claude Debussy  in particular poems? What were the musical poetics he  shared with Igor Stravinsky? And how is our experience of  the late poetry transformed when we listen to a musical  setting by Ned Rorem? The Poetic Music of Wallace Stevens  will appeal to experts in the poets work, students of  Modernism in the arts, and a wider audience fascinated by  the dynamics of exchange between music and poetry.
