first stevens lecture, first paper, the number five

If you're using a Harvard server you should be able to download the first paper assignment here, though it's exacty the same thing you received in lecture. (I'll try to put subsequent assignments up on the course blog too, though I will also hand them out in lecture, just as in lower-tech times.)

The children's video based on Charles Demuth's painting based on Williams' poem.

Web resources and major reference works about Stevens.

The Academy's Stevens site.

Stevens in Hartford. A bit more on Hartford. Stevens' favorite Hartford park.

Stevens in South Florida.

A somewhat idiosyncratic Stevens site, assembled by the Stevens scholar and avant-garde critic Alan Filreis.

Downloadable readers' guides to individual Stevens poems, from the critic and novelist Ronald Sukenick (do not rely on these readings alone).

Stevens at Harvard, with recordings of Stevens reading his poems here in 1954.

Stevens' 1954 Collected Poems online. (Does not include posthumously published poems, prose, etc.)
