“Mozart, 1935” by Wallace Stevens
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses poet Wallace Stevens’ (1879-1955) work “Mozart, 1935.” As Mozart played the present during his life, Stevens will now “play the present” through his own interpretive lyricism which is every bit as compelling in the context of poetry in the 20th century as Mozart’s music was compelling to his admirers of the 18th century. By having the pianist play the out of tune piano, the sound, not necessarily the music, works to drown out the voices of the angry stone-throwers in the street. It is a subtle poem set against the background of the Great Depression and offering ideas regarding the impact an artist can make regardless of the style he or she chooses to use. No additional sources.

“Perched on Nothing’s Branch” by Attila Jozsef
[ send me this essay ]
This 4 page interpretive essay discusses the 20th century Hungarian poet Attila Jozsef’s volume of poems titled “Perched on Nothing’s Branch,” as well as the actual poem of the same title. Using that poem and another titled “Nothing” allows the reader a glimpse into Jozsef’s nihilism and an understanding that he could not, nor could his poetry, be categorized under the singular adjective of “nihilistic,” even while his hopelessness conveys a sense of utter despair. No additional sources.
