Description

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 Perlmanโ€™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 Coltraneโ€™s improvisations embody her own heartโ€™s desire to โ€œget it right on the first takeโ€; 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, โ€œWhen 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 itโ€™s unbearable to miss any of it.โ€
