      abstract = {"This unique essay collection considers the impact of New  York on the life and works of Wallace Stevens. Stevens  lived in New York from 1900 to 1916, working briefly as a  journalist, going to law school, laboriously starting up a  career as a lawyer, getting engaged and married, gradually  mixing with local avant-garde circles, and eventually  emerging as one of the most exciting and surprising voices  in modern poetry. Although he then left the city for a job  in Hartford, Stevens never saw himself as a Hartford poet  and kept gravitating toward New York for nearly all things  that mattered to him privately and poetically: visits to  galleries and museums, theatrical and musical performances,  intellectual and artistic gatherings, shopping sprees and  gastronomical indulgences. Recent criticism of the poet has  sought to understand how Stevens interacted with the  literary, artistic, and cultural forces of his time to  forge his inimitable aesthetic, with its peculiar mix of  post-romantic responses to nature and a metropolitan  cosmopolitanism. This volume deepens our understanding of  the multiple ways in which New York and its various  aesthetic attractions figured in Stevens' life, both at a  biographical and poetic level."--},
