20454	Wallace Stevens is the greatest philosophical poet of the twentieth century in English [Critchley]
	Full Idea: Wallace Stevens is the greatest philosophical poet of the twentieth century in the English language - full stop - in my humble opinion.
	From: Simon Critchley (Impossible Objects: interviews [2012], 6)
	A reaction: I include this because I tend to agree, and love Stevens. Hear recordings of him reading. I once mentioned Stevens in a conversation with Ted Hughes, and he just shrugged and said Stevens 'wasn't much of a poet'. Wrong.
