The Stars in the Pool: A Prose Poem for Lovers
by Edna Kingsley Wallace
About the author
Edna Kingsley Wallace appears to have been an American author active mainly in the early 1900s. Reliable online records are sparse, but library and archive listings confirm several published works, including Feelings and Things (1916), Wonderings and Other Things (1919), The Quest of the Dream (1913), and The Stars in the Pool: A Prose Poem for Lovers.
Her writing seems to have centered on poetry, prose poems, and reflective literary pieces. Some catalog records note that poems in Wonderings and Other Things were reprinted in part from Life and Harper's Magazine, which suggests her work also reached magazine readers of the period.
Because so little biographical information is readily documented, she remains better known through her books than through details of her life. That sense of mystery is part of her appeal today: readers encounter a writer whose surviving work still carries an intimate, dreamy, early-20th-century charm.
