Titus & Caitlin Peartree discuss the poetic art of Wallace Stevens: 13 ways of looking at a blackbird. In 13 brief poems, Stevens reveals the natural temptation to make metaphors; the imaginative element in which the intellect does its work; & the need for a new poetry that can reveal human nature at work by arousing it to do the work--by coming up with images & thoughts that recall us to our basic experiences as ensouled beings.
