Indian River (poem)
"Indian River" is a poem from Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry, ''Harmonium.'' It was first published in 1917.〔In ''Soil'' 1 (Jan. 1917), as part of "Primordia", part of "In the South". According to Cook, p. 85〕 Absent from the first edition of 1923, it appeared in the second edition of 1931. It is in the public domain.
The linked prepositional phrases oblige the reader to construct complex visual images of the Floridian scenes, and the focus on jingling in each sentence brings sound to the images as well. The similarity of syntactic structure in the first three sentences induces an almost hypnotic effect, like repetition of a mantra. The final sentence may betray the poet's diffidence about the prospects for renewal, as in Depression Before Spring, or, as Cook suggests, it may simply reflect Stevens's belief that Florida had no spring.〔She writes that he later acknowledged that he was mistaken about this. Cook, p. 85, citing Stevens, H. p. 676〕
