Wallace Stevens is called a poet of order. What do you think that
means, and how can you see this played out in his poetry?

i honestly dont see him being a poet of of order but all I can see
that relates to him being in order is that in some of his poetry he
tries to tell a awkward story but stays on track.

Wallace Stevens is a tough poet to understand. I'm not sure what he is
trying to do, something just doesn't seem right to me . I think he is
a poet of order. He sets up different events in his poetry to make the
poem seem like something in time. But really he is taking poetry and
trying to make things happen. Overall I think he's a good poet but he
is hard to understand .

Wallace Stevens is a great poet, but he is very difficult to
understand. He writes about different events to make the poem seem
like it goes in a certain order of time.

Wallece is an American Modernist who has created work that can be
complicated for its readers to understand. Being called a poet of
order f Stevens elaborates in creating the fictions necessary to
transform and harmonize the world with his ideas. Overall his views
are interesting and captivating.

I dont think he is a poet of order because his poems seem like they
are forced to stay on track or flow together. His ideas are very
interesting but i dont think he is a poet of order.

Wallace Stevens aka Poet of Order. the name isn't taken literally by
what it says. I think that they style that Stevens writes which
includes taking today societies fantasies or facts and changing them,
mixing them with his own ideas or perspectives to create an elaborate
view of how he wants his readers to understand his beliefs or ideas.

Stevens is a difficult writer, he talks about in one poem how people
are the same (disillusionment of ten o' clock)

He is an author that is hard to determine and is also very strange. He
writes about many things that make sense but then he also says
somethings that do not make sense at all to me.

Stevens is a very mysterious and hard to interpret kind of person. he
talks with a language its hard to overcomethe obstacle and its
confusing because he talks about ideas and matters start all over the
place. and when he does explain things it isn't that catching.
