Description
A detailed analysis of Wallace Stevens's poetics reveals
close parallels with Aristotle's theory of mimesis.
These parallels are most notable in regard to the definition
of mimesis as it pertains to poetry, language,
nature, reality, and imagination. An exploration of these
parallels firmly establishes Stevens as an Aristotelian,
and therefore provides an important aid in understanding
his use of poetic devices such as diction, metaphor, and
persona.
