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
