Abstract

Wallace Stevens, a poet celebrated for his intricate and layered language, employs symbolism, metaphor, and allusion to invite readers into a multi-dimensional exploration of his work. Through poems like "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," Stevens transforms ordinary subjects into symbols that evolve, offering diverse perspectives on existence, beauty, and life's mysteries. His mastery of wordplay and lexical dexterity creates poems rich in connotations and meanings, challenging the idea of a fixed interpretation and aligning with modernist literary movements. The interplay between language and perspective not only underscores the multiplicity of interpretation but also engages readers actively, encouraging intellectual curiosity and emotional resonance. Ultimately, his poetry showcases not only his artistic skill but also his belief in the boundless possibilities that language and perspective provide for comprehending the complexities of the world.
