Appearing for the first time on Nook, "Phases" was the Wallace Stevens's first-ever published poem. It appeared in the November 1914 issue of "Poetry," under the pseudonym Peter Parasol. "Phases" is a group of four short poems, and it shows off Stevens's skills as poet while also providing poignant criticism of World War I, which had begun earlier that year. Stevens was an odd duck: an insurance executive by day and a poet by night. As his debut poem, "Phases" will be a welcome addition to any poetry lover's digital library.
