This book serves as an excellent introduction to Stevens' poetry, providing practical advice not only on how to teach Stevens, but also on how to read and understand him. Stevens' best readers-Helen Vendler, A. Walton Litz, Milton Bates, Joan Richardson, George Lensing, Jacqueline Brogan, Eleanor Cook, and more-offer down-to-earth guidelines on how to approach Stevens' poetry. Essays range from teaching specific anthology pieces to strategies for presenting the long poems, from clarifying Stevens' themes to discussing his use of rhetorical devices and his place among his contemporaries.
