A.E. Stallings at Valparaiso University: April 12 & 13

I am pleased to note that A.E. Stallings, poet and translator, will offer two presentations at Valparaiso University in the upcoming week. Both events are free and open to the public. I urge readers from the area to attend.

On Monday, April 12, Stallings will deliver a lecture, “Honey for the Physic: Englishing Lucretius,” which addresses issues involved with Stallings’ translations of poetry by Lucretius in her recent volume, The Nature of Things (Penguin Classics, 2007). The lecture will be held in the Christopher Center Community Room at 8 p.m.

The next evening—Tuesday, April 13—A.E. Stallings will read her poetry at 7 p.m. in the Duesenberg Recital Hall of the Valparaiso University Center for the Arts. Stallings is the author of two collections of poetry: Archaic Smile (University of Evansville Press, 1999), winner of the Richard Wilbur Award, and Hapax (TriQuarterly Books: Northwestern University Press, 2006), winner of the Poets’ Prize. Both books will be available for purchase at an author signing following the reading.

Stallings has also been a recipient of the Frederick Bock Prize and the Howard Nemerov Sonnet Award. Additionally, her work has twice been included in Best American Poetry anthologies, as well as the Pushcart Prize XXII Anthology. Her poems have appeared widely in literary journals, including American Scholar, Atlantic Monthly, Hudson Review, New Criterion, Poetry, Shenandoah, and Yale Review. A.E. Stallings lives in Athens, Greece.
