Line 5: ==Biography== Born in [[Reading, Pennsylvania]], Stevens went to college at [[Harvard University\|Harvard]], after which he moved to [[New York City]] and briefly worked as a [[journalist]]. He then attended [[New York Law School]], graduating in [[1903]]. By [[1908]] he had been hired as a [[bonding lawyer]] for an [[insurance]] firm, and by [[1914]] he was the vice-president of the ~~Canton,~~New ~~Ohio~~York ~~office~~Office of the Equitable Surety Company of [[St. Louis, Missouri]]. When this job was abolished as a result of mergers in [[1916]], he joined the home office of Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company and left New York City to live in [[Hartford, Connecticut\|Hartford]], where he would remain the rest of his life. By [[1934]], he had been named vice-president of the company. On a trip back to Reading in [[1904]], Stevens met ~~Molly~~Elsie ~~Bloom~~Moll, whom he married, after a long courtship, in [[1909]]. The marriage reputedly turned cold and distant, but the Stevenses never divorced.

He produced only two more major books of poetry during the [[1920s]] and [[1930s]] but three more in the [[1940s]]. Some have argued that his best poetry was written after he turned 60. It was in this later period that Stevens began to be recognized as a major poet, and he received the [[National Book Award]] in [[1950]] and [[1954]].
