Happy Birthday Wallace Stevens!


Ok, so I am a little belated. Wallace Stevens' birthday was on October 2 and in honor of the great poet there has been a request that Wallace Stevens fans are to dress up as a line from one of Wallace Stevens poem. So to show his respect to Stevens on his birthday, Dr. Sexson has requested that we create an image of how we would dress up as one of the lines in our own Wallace Stevens poem. My poem, Farewell to Florida, has a line that goes like this...."My North is leafless and lies in a wintery slime"....So the image that keeps coming to mind when I read that line is a tree that has lost all of its color and has been transformed into a snow catcher. It may be though that because I live in Montana and the snow is soon to be on its way I can't help but to envision a tree covered in snow.
