Autorenporträt
Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) was an American modernist poet celebrated for his richly imaginative verse that explored the interplay between reality and the imagination. Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, he studied at Harvard and later earned a law degree from New York Law School, eventually becoming an executive at the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company. Despite his demanding business career, Stevens produced some of the 20th century's most acclaimed poetry, including Harmonium (1923) and The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens (1954), which won the Pulitzer Prize. His works often meditate on art, nature, and the search for meaning in a secular world. Today, he is remembered as one of the central figures of American modernist poetry, blending philosophical depth with lyrical beauty.
