Wallace Stevens’s 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 poet’s work, students of Modernism
in the arts, and a wider audience fascinated by the dynamics of
exchange between music and poetry.
