More bizarro scholarship

Bizarrely, Bialosky thinks that Wallace Stevens's poem "The Snow Man" is about children building a snow man.  She tries to make this connection to the poem in order to make her book about poetry a "memoir," but the effort is very clumsy, because, well, the poem is not about that. That is just the title.

"One must have a mind of winter", one of my favorite poems. It's definitely not about kids building snowmen. I'm stunned by all this. This book sounds aggressively anti-intellectual.
