Stallings's first book of poems, which was awarded the Richard Wilbur Award. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eArchaic Smile\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStallings \"invigorates the old forms and makes them sing\" (Meryl Natchez, \u003ci\u003eZYZZYVA\u003c\/i\u003e) 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 \u003ci\u003eArchaic Smile \u003c\/i\u003eare sung with a timeless, technically impeccable, and utterly true voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A. E.
