There's some pretty incredible poetry in here, but you've got to read it for the sound, first, and then worry about the meaning. Alas, when I write a paper on it I have to do the reverse. (Aside: They don't teach us, in English departments, to write about aesthetic effects of texts, so when we get to a point where we have the chance to analyze that, it's a lot harder than a simple close reading.) Check out "Sunday Morning," one of the greatest poems ever, and "Rabbit as King of the Ghosts" for something more fun, but still movingly heroic. "Loneliness in Jersey City" too. I think Stevens actually agrees "that things are all right" even though the phrase ("They think that things are all right" (my emphasis)) sounds cynical. This comes from the fact that the reason they think things are all right is that the deer and the dachsund are one, which he's already established is the case at the beginning.
