Inhaltsangabe

Alice Fulton's writing has
been characterized by The New Yorker as "electrifying,"
and the poet herself, according to Publishers Weekly, "may
be Dickinson's postmodern heir."
Dance Script With Electric
Ballerina, Fulton's award-winning first book, is now considered a
classic of contemporary poetry. On its release, reviewers commented:
"She achieves . . . intellectual
substance . . . without sacrificing emotional richness. Fulton's lively,
distinctive style and buoyant faith . . . are most evident." -- Choice
"Her fast-paced verse
rolls off the tongue like colloquial speech, or flows like rhythms of
American jazz." -- Publishers Weekly
"Fulton's distinct voice
marks her as a poet to watch." -- Library Journal
One of "two extremely
impressive poetic debuts in 1983. By the time she's through, we want to
shout 'encore!'" -- David Lehman, Newsday and The Philadelphia
Inquirer
"Reading her . . . you
must sharpen your spirit to be moved by what is uncanny and rare."
-- Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Review
"Delightful, energetic
poems, alive with the exhilaration of creation." -- Stephen C. Behrendt,
Prairie Schooner
