The Stars in the Pool: A Prose Poem for Lovers

by Edna Kingsley Wallace

About the author

Edna Kingsley Wallace was an American poet and prose-poet whose books include Wonderings and Other Things (1919) and The Stars in the Pool: A Prose Poem for Lovers. Library of Congress records for Wonderings and Other Things note that some of the poems had appeared in Life and Harper's Magazine, suggesting she also published in well-known periodicals of her day.

The surviving bibliographic record points to a writer drawn to reflective, emotional subjects. Even the titles associated with her work—Wonderings and Other Things, The Quest of the Dream, and The Stars in the Pool—suggest a voice interested in romance, inward feeling, and dreamlike imagery rather than hard realism.

Reliable biographical details about her life appear to be scarce online, so much of what can be said with confidence comes from library and catalog records rather than full biographical profiles. No clear, verified portrait image was found on the source pages reviewed.
