  • 10 Wally Walk



On a visit to Hartford, I thought I was following in the footsteps of Wallace Stevens (1879-1955), the renowned poet, on the two-mile walk he took each day from work at the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company to his home at 118 Westerly Terrace.  In the way of poetry, things didn’t turn out the way I planned, and my walk ended up being as disorienting and oddly satisfying as a difficult Stevens poem.
