No two writers influenced contemporary American poets more than Stevens and O'Hara. These are seemingly oppositional artists--one an elegant life insurance company president, the other a streetwise curator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York; one committed to the philosophical, the other to the erotic quotidian; one straight, the other gay. But they both represented the ideals and contradictions of Modernism: they wrestled with the consequences of subjectivity, art as salvation, the materiality of language, shifting gender and power relations. Ultimately, their shifting views about the relationship between poetry and the world opened the way for the postmodern. Four credit hours. SADOFF
