Opus posthumous
Stevens, Wallace
Opus posthumous / by Wallace Stevens - Rev., enl., and corr. ed. / edited by Milton J. Bates, 1st Vintage Books ed. - New York : Vintage Books , 1990. - xv, 334 p. ; 21 cm.
Originally published in 1957, under the editorship of Samuel French Morse, Opus Posthumous was designed as a companion to Stevens's Collected Poems (1954), offering the reader various fugitive pieces not appearing in book form. This new edition by Stevens scholar Bates contains 48 items that have never been previously published--or that appear here in a radically new form. These new items include poetry, drama, aphorisms, essays, and even responses to questionnaires. Thus, Bates's edition of Opus Posthumous represents a significant addition to the Stevens canon, one that restores the unofficial poet ``who engages today's biographers and historians.'' To read the beautiful pages of this book is to understand why ``poetry is a means of redemption.''
