A.E. Stallings is the current Oxford Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford, delivering her inaugural lecture 'The Bat Poet: Poetry as Echolocation' at the Examination Schools (High St, Oxford). Her academic background includes studies in Classics at the University of Georgia and Oxford. She specializes in poetry composition and classical translation, blending formal verse traditions with modern themes.
Her research interests center on the intersection of classical antiquity with contemporary poetics, evident in her verse translations of Lucretius' *The Nature of Things*, Hesiod's *Works and Days*, and the ancient epic *The Battle Between the Frogs and the Mice*. Her original poetry collections (*Archaic Smile*, *Hapax*, *Olives*, *Like*) explore themes of memory, identity, and existential inquiry through structured forms.
Stallings' Pulitzer Prize-nominated collection *Like* (2021) exemplifies her innovative approach to contemporary lyricism. Her awards include recognition for bridging classical and modern literary traditions. No formal lab affiliations are noted, though her work engages interdisciplinary connections between ancient and modern poetics.
