Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Exquisite new work along with a selection of her finest poems spanning five decades from the essential poet and national treasure, Frost Medal winner Grace Schulman.Again, the Dawn draws together poems from eight books plus a generous selection of new poems. In them, Grace Schulman hears the call to praise tempered by stark details of city life such as trumpets that blare ?louder than street sirens.? and iron fences / handwrought with lyres, Greek frets, acanthus leaves.? Schulman brings passion and intelligence to bear on occasions she ponders, whether historical or contemporary. In joy and in grief, she gazes at the light and sees the majesty in ordinary things. This collection ranges across decades of prize-winning books, and yet, as its title exclaims, the poetry of Grace Schulman is as new as the rising sun. As Julie Sheehan has written of her most recent volume, ?Read this collection if you, too, have grieved. Read it if you need your own guide to the underworld. Read it if you've ever felt proud to get at the meaning of poems, of art, of music. Read it if you want to be restored to the world around you, if late-stage capitalism or imperialism or politics have numbed you. Read it, then look up, breathe in, raise your own hands, and let Grace Schulman assure you: ?I'll be there, / gazing impiously ? unless / that is what sacred is, the work, the looking up, / the wonder.?. …

Condition: New. Paintings of Our Lives: Poems.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In this generous selection, Grace Schulman moves from 'the altering light' of earthly experience to the possibility of the miraculous.In the celebrated love poem 'The Present Perfect,' she sees 'wildflowers / poking through gravel cracks in our neighbors' driveway / slender but fortunate, built to last their day,' and stanzas about an El Greco painting close with 'one beam that God devised, before the / sun, would have shown us the world in one glance.' Schulman's work so far evolves from a vision of unity expressed in her first collection, BURN DOWN THE ICONS.Her second book, HEMISPHERES, opens with a beautiful blessing, and 'has that first requisite of poetry - the world comes alive in the work .There is nothing familiar about this poet's genius' (New York Times Book Review).The selections from FOR THAT DAY ONLY contain vivid scenes of New York in the tradition of Whitman, Crane, and Moore.THE PAINTINGS OF OUR LIVES, Schulman's most recent book, includes a sonnet sequence that calls on the art of many cultures to illuminate the universality of grief.The ten new poems that complete this breathtaking volume attest to this poet's gifts for her craft and for the expression of praise. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. The acclaimed poet mines the mystery of marriage. A stunningly brave memoir of profound love, pain, and loss.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. One of the finest poets writing today, Grace Schulman finds order in art and nature that enables her to stand fast in a threatened world. The title refers to Itzhak Perlman's performance of a violin concerto with a snapped string, which inspires a celebration of life despite limitations. For her, song imparts endurance: Thelonious Monk evokes Creation; John Coltrane's improvisations embody her own heart's desire to "get it right on the first take"; the wind plays a harp-shaped oak; and her immigrant ancestors remember their past by singing prayers on a ship bound for New York. In the words of Wallace Shawn, "When I read her, she makes me want to live to be four hundred years old, because she makes me feel that there is so much out there, and it's unbearable to miss any of it.".…
