Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

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
