Harmonium (liber poematum)

Harmonium est primus liber poematum Wallace Stevens poetae Americani, anno 1923 ab Alfredo A. Knopf in editione exemplorum 1500 prolatus. Congeries octoginta quinque poemata comprehendit, quae a paucis versibus ("Life Is Motion") ad nonnullos centies ("The Comedian as the Letter C") variant. Liber anno 1931 reimpressus est, tribus poematibus omissis et quattuordecim poematis novis additis.Heyen 1966:147. Poemata anni 1923 in editione nova omissa sunt "The Silver Plough-Boy," "Exposition of the Contents of a Cab," et "Architecture." Poemata nova in editione anni 1931 sunt "The Man whose Pharynx was Bad," "The Death of a Soldier," "Negation," "Sea Surface full of Clouds," "The Revolutionists Shop for Orangeade," "New England Verses," "Lunar Paraphrase," "Anatomy of Monotony," "The Public Square," "Sonatina to Hans Christian," "In the Clear Season of Grapes," "Two at Norfolk," et "Indian River."

Solum centum exemplaria primae editionis empta sunt antequam domus editoria reliquum destruxit,Addit Robertus Rehder: "During the 1924 Christmas season, two young poets, Richard Blackmur and Conrad Aiken, found that the first edition had been remaindered in the basement of Filene's, the Boston department store, at 11¢ a copy. They recognized the book's merit and bought all the copies to send as Christmas cards to their friends. The poet took a more ironic view of the book's sales. Around July 1924, he wrote to Harriet Monroe: 'My royalties for the first half of 1924 amounted to $6.70. I shall have to charter a boat and take my friends around the world' (L 243)." (Pro epistula, vide Stevens 1966:243.) quo facto, videbatur Marcus Van Doren poeta et criticus fuisse rectus cum in The Nation anno 1923 scripsisset ingenium Stevensianum "est tentans, perversum, subtilissimum; ac numquam erit populo gratum."Anglice: "is tentative, perverse, and superfine; and it will never be popular."Van Doren 1923:400. Sed ante 1960, studia Stevensiana fiebantur "conglomeratus multinationalis."Anglice "multinational conglomerate."Axelrod et Reese 1988:11. Poema "Anecdote of the Jar" non solum subscriptio Stevensiana, sed etiam icon poesis Civitatum Foederatarum factum est. Plurima poemata Harmonii ab anno 1914 ad annum 1923 in variis magazinis prolata sunt.H. Bevis: "sixty-seven of the seventy-four poems of the 1923 Harmonium had first been published in small magazines between 1914 and 1923." Prima editio sic in rebus prioribus dicit: "The poems in this book, with the exception of The Comedian as the Letter C and a few others, have been published before in Others, Secession, Rogue, The Soil, The Modern School, Broom, Contact, The New Republic, The Measure, The Little Review, The Dial, and particularly in Poetry: A Magazine of Verse, of Chicago, edited by Harriet Monroe" (Edelstein 1973:3).
