Alice Fulton

Sensual Math

"In her brilliant fourth collection, Fulton . . . echoes Emily Dickinson . . . suggesting in many ways that she may be Dickinson's postmodern heir."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Drenched with the beauties of perception and language, Sensual Math embraces areas often excluded from poetry. Drawing upon science, myth, popular culture, feminist theory, and autobiography, Alice Fulton creates an entrancing and important postmodern poetics.

Sensual Math figures the world as a blend of Zen and Elvis, calculus and honey. The final triumph is that poems so profound can be so profoundly engaging.

"Alice Fulton possesses a fingerprint-distinct voice and stellar credentials."—Los Angeles Times Book Review
