Stallings A. E. Title : Sorriso arcaico. Testo inglese a fronte
Author: Stallings A. E.
Publisher: Crocetti

Un felice intreccio di mito e attualità è lo scenario di Sorriso arcaico, raccolta d'esordio di A. E. Stallings premiata nel 1999 con il Richard Wilbur Award. I personaggi immortali della mitologia greca sembrano rispondere a una chiamata fin dal titolo del libro: il "sorriso arcaico" è un elemento della scultura greca arcaica e consiste nella caratterizzazione dei volti con le labbra chiuse incurvate verso l'alto. L'espressione sorridente delle statue è stata interpretata in vari modi: potrebbe rappresentare la benevolenza degli dèi o il compiacimento degli atleti per la perfezione del proprio corpo oppure, più probabilmente, è un modo per dare profondità alla raffigurazione della bocca. Con lo stesso sorriso enigmatico Stallings ci conduce nel "mondo sotterraneo" e nel mondo terreno, e dà la parola, tra gli altri, a Persefone, Ade, Euridice, Penelope, che raccontano la loro verità. Nella trama di questa raccolta le vicende del mito si alternano a quelle della quotidianità, in un raffinato incontro di divinità, eroi ed eroine con i ricordi familiari dell'autrice, le abitudini, gli eventi anche minimi, le presenze a lei care, in uno stile diretto e metricamente ricercato, con sorprendenti sprazzi di tenero umorismo.

Stallings A. E. Title : Olives
Author: Stallings A. E.
Publisher: Triquarterly Books

A. E. Stallings has established herself as one of the best American poets of her generation. In addition to a lively dialogue with both the contemporary and ancient culture of her adopted homeland, Greece, this new collection features poems that, in her inimitable voice, address the joys and anxieties of marriage and motherhood. This collection builds on previous accomplishments with some longer poems and sequences of greater philosophical scope, such as “On Visiting a Borrowed Country House in Arcadia.” Stallings possesses the rare ability to craft precise poems that pulsate with deeply felt emotion. Like the olives of the title, the book embraces the bitter but savory fruits of the ancient tree, and the tears and sweetness we harvest in our temporary lives. These poems show Stallings in complete command of her talent, able to suggest the world in a word.

Lucretius Carus Titus, Stallings A. E. (TRN), Jenkyns Richard (INT) Title : The Nature of Things
Author: Lucretius Carus Titus, Stallings A. E. (TRN), Jenkyns Richard (INT)
Publisher: Penguin Classics

Lucretius was a Roman philosopher and poet of the first century BC whose only known work is The Nature of Things (c.50 BC), a didactic poem in six books that expounds his philosophical beliefs. He followed Epicurean ideas, believing the world to be made up of tiny atoms moving in a void and viewing life in terms of pleasure and pain, representing good and bad. The Nature of Things was to have a huge influence on poets such as Virgil (whose Georgics was written only a generation later) and was to affect the course of western literature as a whole.
A. E. Stalling's new translation is in rhyming couplets and uses modern terminology to reflect the impact of the original poem. Richard Jenkyns's introduction explores Lucretius' beliefs and his influence on subsequent literature. This edition also includes a preface, suggestions for further reading and notes.

Stallings A. E. Title : Hapax
Author: Stallings A. E.
Publisher: Triquarterly Books

Hapax is ancient Greek for "once, once only, once and for all," and "onceness" pervades this second book of poems by American expatriate poet A. E. Stallings. Opening with the jolt of "Aftershocks," this book explores what does and does not survive its "gone moment"--childhood ("The Dollhouse"), ancient artifacts ("Implements from the Grave of the Poet"), a marriage's lost moments of happiness ("Lovejoy Street"). The poems also often compare the ancient world with the modern Greece where Stallings has lived for several years. Her musical lyrics cover a range of subjects from love and family to characters and themes derived from classical Greek sources ("Actaeon" and "Sisyphus").

Employing sonnets, couplets, blank verse, haiku, Sapphics, even a sequence of limericks, Stallings displays a seemingly effortless mastery of form. She makes these diverse forms seem new and relevant as modes for expressing intelligent thought as well as charged emotions and a sense of humor. The unique sensibility and linguistic freshness of her work has already marked her as an important, young poet coming into her own.
