Low importance?
editI'm surprised that this article has been rated "low importance" to the poetry project. Wallace Stevens is widely considered one of the most important English-language poets of the twentieth-century, and this in one of his best known and most discussed poems. Compared to Eliot's "Portrait of a Lady," which is another important modernist short poem and has a Wikipedia article that is rated "mid-importance," I bet "The Snow Man is in more anthologies and has drawn more discussion among literary critics. Hickoryhillster (talk) 02:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC) I agree completely and will try to upgrade treatment of Wallace Stevens, his poem and prose, and modernist poetry in English in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolffg (talk • contribs) 00:10, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
Imbeciles discussing life.
editSometimes I am shocked, sometimes only amused, at the way intellectuals can overthink something and contort ideas into the most egregiously convoluted nonsense. This article might well serve as a "poster child" for that idea. The Snow Man is a wonderful poem, full of fine nuance and imagery. What the author is talking about, I haven't a clue. I rather suspect that neither does he (or she). — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarvinLuse (talk • contribs) 04:42, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
I agree with the above statement. There's lots to say about this poem, unfortunately, none of that made it here. Composerjude (talk) 01:10, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Original Research/Interpretation
editThe "overview" section of this page reads like an interpretation of the poem. I have flagged that as original research. This should be entirely revised to describe how the poem has been interpreted, rather than give an interpretation. Composerjude (talk) 01:10, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
