PRAISE FOR AGAIN, THE DAWN Grace Schulman is a poet of brokenness and repair, of baffled mystery, of shatter and luminosity, grief transfigured into joy. Her life's work is a book of wonder. --Edward Hirsch PRAISE FOR THE POETRY OF GRACE SCHULMAN Schulman is a torch. --Richard Howard One of the permanent poets of her generation. --Harold Bloom Grace Schulman is a national treasure. --Rowan Ricardo Phillips Schulman's beautiful poems are deft and intimate without ever becoming confessional. Clarity of idea and clarity of sound, rhythms equally at home in formal and in blank verse meet in an idiom that is perfected to a chiseled resonance. --The New Yorker There is nothing familiar about this poet's genius; that is its burden, and its immeasurable gift. --New York Times Book Review

"PRAISE FOR AGAIN, THE DAWN ""Again, the Dawn is an especially well-edited selection, with a lifework's currents and concerns returning as quasi-musical themes."" --On the Seawall ""Grace Schulman is a poet of brokenness and repair, of baffled mystery, of shatter and luminosity, grief transfigured into joy. Her life's work is a book of wonder.""--Edward Hirsch ""The words Gravity and (indeed) Grace come to mind. These are weighty poems but never heavy handed. Remorseless magnificent energy pouring along, filtered by a powerful intellect and illuminated by a visionary imaginaire. A poetry book for the ages as well as for the age.""--Anthony Rudolph PRAISE FOR THE POETRY OF GRACE SCHULMAN ""Schulman is a torch.""--Richard Howard ""One of the permanent poets of her generation.""--Harold Bloom ""Grace Schulman is a national treasure.""--Rowan Ricardo Phillips ""Schulman's beautiful poems are deft and intimate without ever becoming confessional.
