Description

This book is about the experience of Wallace Stevens in the 1930s. Using the archives of many little-known political poets, Filreis demonstrates that the radicals knew and appreciated modernism more than has been generally recognized, and that Stevens's poetry--as well as that of other modernists and radicals--was far more dynamic than has been recognized during and beyond the eras of anticommunism.
