About This Item

Evansville: The University of Evansville Press,, 1999. First edition, first printing, presentation copy inscribed on the title "To Ginger, with gratitude for all your good work! Alicia. 24.i.01, Atlanta". The recipient was almost certainly Ginger Murchison, who interviewed Stallings about Archaic Smile for The Cortland Review. This collection of poems, by the recipient of the 1999 Richard Wilbur Award, is uncommon in such fine condition and especially so inscribed. Octavo. Original dark red cloth, spine and front board lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. A fine copy in fine jacket.
