It's always a treat to get a new issue of Poetry with "Stallings" on the cover, especially when there is more than one of her poems inside. "Arrowhead Hunting" is wonderful, one of Alicia's best I think. Not a wasted word, and such memorable lines and phrases. I especially love the description of the unbroken arrowheads as "Perfect, shot through time as through a glade." Congratulations, Alicia!
