The Emperor of Ice-Cream

"The Emperor of Ice-Cream" is a celebrated poem from Wallace Stevens's first collection of poetry, ''Harmonium''. It was first published in 1922, and is in the public domain.〔See Buttel, p. 20. See also the LibriVox site on the complete public domain poems of Wallace Stevens.()〕 The poem "wears a deliberately commonplace costume," he wrote in a letter, "and yet seems to me to contain something of the essential gaudiness of poetry; that is the reason why I like it."〔Stevens, Wallace. (Letter to William Rose Benét ). 6 January 1933.〕
According to the critic Helen Vendler, quoted by Austin Allen, the ice-cream in the poem is being prepared for serving at a funeral wake.
