Stevens's first book of poetry, Harmonium, was published in 1923. He produced two more major books of poetry during the 1920s and 1930s and three more in the 1940s. (from Wiki web page: (

In 1950 he received the Bollingen Prize in Poetry, and in 1955 he was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award
This is one of thirteen stone markers that will be placed to honor Wallace Stevens. The Walk will be installed along the two miles Stevens walked each day from his home to his office, at The Hartford Insurance Group. Each marker will have one stanza from "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." Five stones have now been installed: at the Classical Magnet School, Asylum Hill Congregational Church, Asylum and Woodland, and Westerley Terrace.
