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 JournalOne 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 SchoonerAlice 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.''
