Dance Script With Electric Ballarina: POEMS

4.1/5 ( ratings)

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
