+Wallace Stevens+--poet.
A New York lawyer, living in Hartford, Connecticut, whose work although
not as yet collected into a volume has attracted much attention. Received
the _Poetry_ prize for the best one-act play, in 1916, for his "Three
Travellers Watch a Sunrise," and the Levinson prize for his
"Pecksniffiana," 1920.
Mr. Stevens's art is purely decorative, and its effects must be studied
as in pictorial art. He is an experimenter in free verse forms as well as
in impressions.
