Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) was an American modernist poet known for his complex and philosophical verse. His poetry often explored the interplay between imagination, reality, and the nature of perception. Stevens received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1955, shortly before his death, and his works, including “The Emperor of Ice-Cream” and “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,” continue to be celebrated for their innovative use of language and thought-provoking themes.
