Talk:Earthy Anecdote

The title of this article should be "Earthy Anecdote." How can I change it? George Wolff 16:04, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Removal of interpretation

@Wolffg: I started copyediting, and unfortunately ended up gutting the article of interpretation. From the external blogpost (removed from the article due to copyvio and RS/weight concerns): Stevens himself wrote, by way of explanation to the editor of the Modern School journal that first published the poem, "there's no symbolism in the 'Earthy Anecdote' (L 204)" ... "I intended something quite concrete: actual animals" (L 209). In short, unless WP:RELIABLE SOURCES can be cited as discussing the interpretation of "buck" as a Native American warrior, it doesn't belong here. Similarly, unless reliable sources discuss this poem in the context of Blake, it doesn't belong here (and the quotation of The Tyger doesn't belong, regardless), etc etc. Sorry, ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 09:22, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

wolffg: I am working on an article that I hope the Wallace Stevens Journal will publish. If they do. I will contribute some more to Wikipedia-Stevens. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolffg (talk • contribs) 18:51, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
