**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.
