I don't ever remember reading Stevens or Crane.
I do not particularly care for his poems though. I rarely understood any of them.

He was in house counsel for an insurance company in Hartford. But by the time he got going, they basically paid to have a great poet staff.
Stevens' poems are very hard to understand, but once you do they are deep, and the language is beautiful.
