Alicia Elsbeth Stallings (born July 2, 1968) is an American poet, translator, and essayist. Quotes Composing a poem and creating a fabric—whether weaving or knitting—actually have a surprising amount in common, not least a lot of terms—take the word "text" itself for example. Line? Related to linen. We spin yarns in our narrative poems. Poets spend a lot of time wool-gathering. "Knitting for Poets: Elizabeth Zimmermann", Poetry Foundation (April 26, 2010) Nothing but the white vowels of the windBrushing through stands of spears like conifersWhile a banner slips its staff and hangs in the blueLike a kestrel or a contrail.
