Binding: Paperback
Description: 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 Zyzzyv a) 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.
