A new edition of A. E. Stallings's first book of poems, which was
awarded the Richard Wilbur Award. In Archaic Smile, by the Pulitzer
Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist A. E.
Stallings, the poet couples poetic meditations on classic stories
and themes with poems about the everyday, sometimes mundane
occurrences of contemporary life (like losing an umbrella or
fishing with one's father), and she infuses the latter with the
magic of myth and history. With the skill of a scholar and
translator and the playful, pristine composition of a poet,
Stallings bridges the gap between these two distant worlds.
Stallings "invigorates the old forms and makes them sing" (Meryl
Natchez, ZYZZYVA) in her poetry, and the scope and origins of her
talents are on full display in the acclaimed author's first
collection. The poems of Archaic Smile are sung with a timeless,
technically impeccable, and utterly true voice.
