For That Day Only (1994)

“Schulman’s beautiful poems are deft and intimate without ever becoming confessional. There are poems of marital bliss and woe, poems about works of art, poems on ancestral or historical themes -- the raw poignancy of “Grandfather Dave, an immigrant, a Jew,” long with the Washington Square of Henry James. The sacred realm of god and myth and the mundane one of error and expulsion unite and resound in both classical and contemporary ways . Clarity of idea and clarity of sound, rhythms equally at home in formal and in blank verse meet in an idiom that is perfected to a chiselled resonance  -The New Yorker 

“ Ms. Schulman is one of our finest poets of the city. -The New York Times Book Review, October 30, 1994.
