my review: content and form
Hello readers
it is my pleasure to share my opinion on collected poems by wallace stevens and as any book consists of content and form there is no point telling my opinion on the poems as far as we head for objectivity while any one reads through preface and the introduction one should say that especially the introduction should have been extended and detailed more than this and more organized linking the categorized poems. as for the outlook of the book sure such distinctive and outstanding poet should deserve a better quality in both paper and printing.
Thanks to you all

Excellent comprehensive collection by a legendary poet
Format: Paperback
Wallace Stevens has long been one of my handful of favorite poets. An insurance man by day and an astute observer and deep thinker-philosopher in his spare time, he thrilled and pleased me with this wonderful collection. This volume is packed with insightful, imagery- and language-rich poems (many with sly humor) such as "The Snow Man," "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," and "The Old Lutheran Bells at Home." Few poets today can wield such a rich vocabulary of idea, image, symbol, insight, and understated humor. I also like the simple but colorful cover design, the quality, texture, and subtle ivory shade of the pages, the print quality and binding (well glued, paperback). The book arrived on time and undamaged. It will grace my bookshelf for long years to come.

Wonderful Collection Showing a Kind of Poetic Mastery Unmatched, Unparalleled
Format: Kindle
The meditative quality, exquisite imagery and concise & precise use of language bolsters Wallace Stevens as one of the finest & greatest poets in 20th century. Wallace's control over English and more generally the poetic style itself are best represented in his group of poems The Man with the Blue Guitar. There are no self-indulgent, instinctive, overgrown lines seen in other poets' work such as Alan Ginsberg and Derek Walcott. And later generation of poets such as John Ashbery are greatly influenced by Wallace's work. This again indicates the immense value of this collection to global literature progression.

A great collection of poetry.
Format: Paperback
I first "discovered" Stevens from selections of some of his work being a part of this work on poetics I have. The quotes are, I suppose, for the oddity of discovering an artist that is more well known than I'll ever be. Great book to have if you're interested in how poetry made its move from constrained to open.
