Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) is a central figure in English-language Modernism, known for his poetic innovation, but also controversial due to his political and social views. Although his conservatism is not explicitly reflected in his work, traces of racism and misogyny occasionally appear in his verses. Nevertheless, his mastery of sound and rhythm remains influential in contemporary poetry. This study examines Stevens’ reception through the analysis and translation of “Snow for Wallace Stevens” by Terrance Hayes and “Laps for Fat Wal” by Anne Carson. The aim is to contribute to discussions on the poet’s work, exploring it through a critical perspective that aligns with contemporary literary and social debates.
