Wallace Stevens is one of the major poets of the twentieth century, and also among the most challenging. His poems can be dazzling in their verbal brilliance. They are often shot through with lavish imagery and wit, informed by a lawyer's logic, and disarmingly unexpected: a singing jackrabbit, the seductive Nanzia Nunzio. They also spoke--and still speak--to contemporary concerns. Though his work is popular and his readership continues to grow, many readers encountering it are baffled by such rich and strange poetry. Eleanor Cook, a leading critic of poetry and expert on Stevens, gives us here the essential reader's guide to this important American poet. Cook goes through each of Stevens's poems in his six major collections as well as his later lyrics, in chronological order. For each poem she provides an introductory head note and a series of annotations on difficult phrases and references, illuminating for us just why and how Stevens was a master at his art. Her annotations, which include both previously unpublished scholarship and interpretive remarks, will benefit beginners and specialists alike. Cook also provides a brief biography of Stevens, and offers a detailed appendix on how to read modern poetry. A Reader's Guide to Wallace Stevens is an indispensable resource and the perfect companion to The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens, first published in 1954 in honor of Stevens's seventy-fifth birthday, as well as to the 1997 collection Wallace Stevens: Collected Poetry and Prose.

Comme toutes les œuvres de même envergure, celle de Claudel nous frappe et nous retient d'abord par ce qu'elle offre de singulier. Pourtant, à mesure que les années passent, il devient de plus en plus clair que ce poète n'a rien, quoi qu'on ait pu dire, d'un aérolithe tombé d'un ciel gréco-biblique dans le poulailler littéraire post-symboliste. Son œuvre s'inscrit dans une histoire intellectuelle qui est une histoire de longue durée : celle de ce qu'on a appelé -d'un mot plein d'ambiguïtés- romantisme. Ceci se vérifie - nonobstant les accès de colère anti-romantiques de l'inté­ressé - lorsqu'il monte à l'assaut contre les positivistes, avec les catholiques et les vitalistes du tournant du siècle, en brandissant des armes curieusement analogues à celles que la Naturphilosophie avait jadis déployées contre les mécanistes ; lorsqu'on examine l'usage qu'il fait de l'universelle analogie, chargée conformément à une tradition vénérable, mais non pas seulement catholique, de nous passer d'un monde à l'autre, du visible à l'invisible ; ou encore lorsqu'on interroge une poétique qui ne s'en prend aux romantiques que pour mieux sauver les principaux articles de leur credo, sous réserve de les récrire pour les mettre en conformité avec les commandements d'un catholicisme original et rigoureux. Pourtant, si ce livre s'emploie à conduire une archéologie des propositions claudéliennes, ce n'est pas pour le morne plaisir de rabattre le singulier sur le collectif, ni pour sacrifier a la manie des sources ou des origines : mais plutôt par désir d'y voir clair, de saisir les lignes de force dans la diversité et la profusion des propos - ce qui se peut d'autant mieux, m'a-t-il semblé, qu'on se transporte en amont de l'œuvre, et qu'on resitue les propositions de Claudel dans une histoire suffisamment longue, où la singularité se mesure surtout en termes de variation. Et c'est peut-être encore, dans une fin de siècle obsédée de nouveauté, manière de prêter l'oreille à…

Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin are the best known of a loosely organised group of Soviet artists known as "Paper architects," who designed much but built little in the early days of Glasnost, in the late 1980s. Many of their elaborate etchings, in which they depicted outlandish, often impossible, structures and cityscapes of allegorical content, were collected in our 1990 book Brodsky et Utkin, and our 2003 reprint which included an additional forty-three new and never-before-published prints. In their designs, by turns funny, cerebral, and deeply human, Brodsky et Utkin borrow from Egyptian tombs, Ledoux's visionary architecture, Le Corbusier's urban master plans, and other historical precedents, collaging these heterogeneous forms in learned and layered scrambles. Underlying the wit and visual inventiveness is an unmistakable moral: that the dehumanizing architecture of the sort seen in Russian cities in the 1980s and 1990s, and elsewhere around the globe, takes a sinister toll.
