A.E. Stallings, forty-seventh Oxford Professor of Poetry and winner of the MacArthur Fellowship, has published five volumes of poems (most recently This Afterlife), as well as distinguished translations of Lucretius, Hesiod, and the pseudo-Homeric Battle between the Frogs and the Mice. Her new book Frieze Frame: How Poets, Painters, and their Friends Framed the Debate Around Elgin and the Marbles of the Parthenon, is as edifying and entertaining as a son et lumière of its venerable subject. Her work has appeared in Best American Poetry, the Atlantic Monthly, and the New Yorker.

Organized and hosted by poet, literary critic, and UCLA Distinguished Research Professor Stephen Yenser. Cosponsored by the UCLA Department of English and UCLA Recreation.
