One person would recite a line of poetry and the next person would try to recite the next, until the entire book was recited."

* Wallace Stevens' first major publication (of his poem "Phases") is in the November issue of "Poetry" [Wallace Stevens (search results), [http://www.poetrymagazine.org/search_author.html?query=6576 Poetry Magazine] .] The poem was written when Stevens was 35, and he is a rare example of a poet whose main output came at a fairly advanced age.
