The function of poetry is to help people in many different ways to overcome the challenges when they seem to have lost their lives. However, the present paper aims at demonstrating how does imagination in Wallace Steven's(1879-1955) poetry offer skills and techniques which help understand better and cope with difficulties. However, two of Steven's poem are tackled in this paper: "Thirteen Ways of Looking At Black Bird" and '' Disillusion of Ten O'clock". Furthermore, the paper deals with the poem from a new critic point of view. Accordingly, the study concludes that the poet's style of using imagery in many different ways is a modern way of coping with and understanding reality.
