The Poet in the Park is a tribute to Wallace Stevens' memory and to
his singular accomplishment in poetry. It is an attempt to make an
affectionate, human connection with a man deprived of some of
life's most basic pleasures - living where you want, living with
whom you want, and having the psychological and emotional freedom
to express yourself and evade the fetters of our Puritanical
society. The method behind this tribute comes from work as both a
photographer and poet - combining pictures of the natural world
with a series of poems designed as what musicians would call
variations, where one composer creates works that draw on and
develop features from another composer, such as melodic themes or
other aspects of musical style. The goal in such music is two-fold:
to pay tribute to the original, and at the same time to make
something new. Thus the poems here, while never attempting to fully
replicate Stevens' poetry, still draw on the manner, vocabulary,
and poetic devices found throughout his work.
