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.

Solum centum exemplaria primae editionis empta sunt antequam domus editoria reliquum destruxit, 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." Sed ante 1960, studia Stevensiana fiebantur "conglomeratus multinationalis." 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.
