The Palm at the End of the Mind: Selected Poems and a Play

About this book

This selection of works by Wallace Stevens--the man Harold Bloom has called “the best and most representative American poet”--was first published in 1967. Edited by the poet's daughter Holly Stevens, it contains all the major long poems and sequences, and every shorter poem of lasting value in Stevens' career, including some not printed in his earlier Collected Works . Included also is a short play by Stevens, "Bowl, Cat and Broomstick."
