TEST REVIEW:

~poetry is the subject of the poem

WALLACE STEVENS:

  • is a romantic:
  1. venerates nature:
  2. god- like powers of a poet
  3. secular humanists
  • metaphor poem and Autumn
  • 'She was the maker'
  • 'the great' with the power to create
  • in the absence of God, we have ourselves
  • central concern is with the interplay between reality and imagination:
  1. Right and North: symbols are directional (cold, ice, snow, in the N)
  2. Up and down: West= spring, East= Autumn seasonal poems-> winter, summer, Autumn and spring
  3. Imagination is in the south: color- blue= imagination, tropical flowers and animals
  4. Metaphor: poetry is the subject always!
  5. east and west: not quite it's self but metaphors for something else
  6. Spring is ambiguous, you don't have to be quite yourself.
  7. the blackbird is an illusion to reality because it's always there
