Strange Paradise

“Schulman is an award-winning poet who writes in this memoir about caring for her ailing husband. She puts their relationship under the microscope and meditates on what it means to have a ‘happy marriage.’” The New York Times, New and Noteworthy, August 14, 2018.
“A poet reflects on her long marriage and struggle to define her own career . . .An affecting recollection of a life rich in literature and love.” Kirkus Reviews, August 21, 2018.

First three chapters excerpted in Poetry Daily.


First Loves and Other Adventures

“There is nothing quite as resonant and layered or as self-illuminating as ‘Helen’ in First Loves and Other Adventures, but everything else is true to that opening essay’s spirit and point of view, and the book’s brief memoirs are especially affecting. -Ron Slate,  On the Seawall.
