  The war between mind and sky 

  Jay Parini takes unholy communion with the incomparable Wallace Stevens

  Collected Poems
  by Wallace Stevens
  470pp, Faber, £20
  It would be difficult to overestimate the place of Wallace Stevens in modern American poetry. Now his complete work - a capacious volume, first published in 1954 - has been made available in a handsome new edition. The time may be ripe for Stevens in Britain, where his work has never quite had the appeal of Robert Frost or TS Eliot, in part because of its eccentric diction and formidable difficulty, both of which have been overemphasised.
