==In popular culture== In 1976, after discovering Picasso's etching techniques from [[Aldo Crommelynck|Atelier Crommelynck]], [[David Hockney]] produced a suite of 20 etchings called ''[[The Blue Guitar]]''. The [[Book frontispiece|frontispiece]] mentions Hockney's dual inspiration as "The Blue Guitar: Etchings By David Hockney Who Was Inspired By Wallace Stevens Who Was Inspired By Pablo Picasso".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://collection.britishcouncil.org/whats_on/exhibition/11/15872/object/42133 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131215063659/http://collection.britishcouncil.org/whats_on/exhibition/11/15872/object/42133 | url-status = dead | archive-date = December 15, 2013 | title = The Old Guitarist' From The Blue Guitar | access-date = June 20, 2012 | last = Hockney | first = Davis | date = 1976β1977 | work = British Council; Visual Arts | publisher = Petersburg Press}}</ref> The etchings refer to themes of a poem by Stevens, ''[[The Man with the Blue Guitar]]''. Petersburg Press published the portfolio in October 1977. The same year, Petersburg also published a book in which the poem's text accompanied the images.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Hockney | first1 = David | last2 = Stevens | first2 = Wallace | title = The Blue Guitar: Etchings By David Hockney Who Was Inspired By Wallace Stevens Who Was Inspired By Pablo Picasso | publisher = Petersburg Ltd | date = January 1, 1977 | isbn = 978-0902825031}}</ref> Both titles of an early story by [[John Crowley (author)|John Crowley]], first published in 1978 as "Where Spirits Gat Them Home", later collected in 1993 as "Her Bounty to the Dead", come from "[[Sunday Morning (poem)|Sunday Morning]]". The titles of two novels by D. E. Tingle, ''Imperishable Bliss'' (2009) and ''A Chant of Paradise'' (2014), come from "Sunday Morning". [[John Irving]] quotes Stevens's poem "[[The Plot Against the Giant]]" in his novel ''[[The Hotel New Hampshire]]''. In Terrence Malick's film ''[[Badlands (film)|Badlands]]'', the nicknames of the protagonists are Red and Kit, a possible reference to Stevens's poem "Red Loves Kit". [[Nick Cave]] cited the lines "And the waves, the waves were soldiers moving" in his song "We Call Upon the Author". They come from Stevens's poem "Dry Loaf". Later [[Vic Chesnutt]] recorded a song named "Wallace Stevens" on his album ''[[North Star Deserter]]''. The song references Stevens's poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird". Stevens was honored with a US postage stamp in 2012.<ref>[http://www.usstampgallery.com/view.php?id=9f41eadf30e845b6f92f9ddec86c46500a94bdf0&Wallace_Stevens US Stamp Gallery: Wallace Stevens]</ref>
