This book is a unique contribution to scholarship of the poetics of
Wallace Stevens, offering an analysis of the entire oeuvre of
Stevens's poetry using the philosophical framework of Martin
Heidegger. Marking the first book-length engagement with a
philosophical reading of Stevens, it uses Heidegger's theories as a
framework through which Stevens's poetry can be read and shows how
philosophy and literature can enter into a productive dialogue. It
also makes a case for a Heideggerian reading of poetry, exploring
his later philosophy with respect to his writing on art, language,
and poetry. Taking Stevens's repeated emphasis on the terms
"being", "consciousness", "reality" and "truth" as its starting
point, the book provides a new reading of Stevens with a
philosopher who aligns poetic insight with a reconceptualization of
the metaphysical significance of these concepts. It pursues the
link between philosophy, American poetry as reflected through
Stevens, and modernist poetics, looking from Stevens's modernist
techniques to broader European philosophical movements of the
twentieth century.
