Wallace Stevens Society in Poets Biography & Poetry Resource Directory

The Seeds of the Wallace Stevens Society were planted in the late 1960s when William T. Ford, a librarian at the University of Chicago by day and a law student by night, started The Wallace Stevens Newsletter. Four issues of the eightpage newsletter appeared: Vol. 1.1 Oct. 1969; Vol. 1.2 April 1970; Vol. 2.1 Oct. 1970; and Vol. 2.2 April 1971. These usually contained one or two brief essays on Stevens’ poetry, book reviews, news about forthcoming events, abstracts of recent dissertations, a current bibliography, and poems paying tribute to Stevens. After completing his law degree in 1972, Ford moved to Los Angeles, but without a university connection, he could not continue the Newsletter.
