Dementia Blog
Poetry. "Susan M. Schultz's DEMENTIA BLOG is as astonishing as it is tragic. Following the odd form of the blog, which is written forward in time but read backwards, it charts the fragmented disorienting progression (if this is the word) of her mother's dementia. Schultz sees through her family's personal tragedy to the profound social and philosophical implications of the unraveling of sense and soul: a deranged nation, so unmoored from coherence that it is unable to feel the difference between political rhetoric and the destructiveness of war. Full of intimate personal detail, DEMENTIA BLOG sweetly and sadly unwinds itself into timelessness"--Norman Fischer.
Memory Cards
Poetry. "'What we do in saying, ' Susan Schultz writes, 'is more than words allow us.' Thus her MEMORY CARDS: THOMAS TRAHERNE SERIES unfolds as resource that is both deep and expansive. Schultz makes poems that plumb the mundane with patience and honesty: in that way, this is difficult work, but also work that continuously opens recognitions for the reader ('Difficulty is invitation, after all.'). What emerges is all that poetry can be when attention and intelligence combine toward an ethics of empathy. Schultz listens truly, and such listening creates 'a politics of person, not idea, of love without absorption, of the simple word.'" Elizabeth Robinson"
I Want to Write an Honest Sentence
Poetry. "The latest in Susan M. Schultz's ongoing, cumulative epic is as gorgeous, far out, and effective as anything she's written. I love her deep but lightly held learning, her big heart, and that she's quotidian and funny. Our great poet of grief, Schultz is the calm at the center of storms of sorrow, confusion, loss, politics. Her sentences are so good they can make you (me) cry: 'My response to the death of a poet is to imitate his sentences like Matt Morris throwing Darryl Kile's curve two days after Kile died. Style's a form of grieving, one that threads out like a shawl over bent shoulders.' This--like the whole book--has her distinctive smartness, precision, and just plain beautiful writing."--Elinor Nauen
Lilith Walks
"Flash realism--this is what Susan Schultz presents in an album of vignette encounters: histories of 'ordinary pain'; social attentiveness during the extra-dramatic 2020-21; resonant, revealing comments; the micro-allegories of the detail. Where we lived and what ... provoked us, hurts concealed and yet palpable are made lucid in Schultz's languages of mixing empathy and annoying tests of equanimity. This humane book, interconnected with her dogged, personable companion, Lilith, investigates life's multifaceted and poignant zones."--Rachel Blau DuPlessis "Rousseau never really went solo. Flush was a camp feminist. The finest flaneurs didn't get too proud to beg don't let me be lonely. Same g...
And Then Something Happened
Investigations of childhood from a philosophical perspective, asking how to reconcile childhood with suffering and as a real and imagined place, always subject to re-call. Writing out of the experience of adoption, Schultz uses language from her son's experience to think about ways in which "the political is personal."
"She's Welcome to Her Disease"
Poetry. "SHE'S WELCOME TO HER DISEASE" DEMENTIA BLOG, VOLUME TWO] is Susan M. Schultz's follow-up to the highly successful DEMENTIA BLOG (Singing Horse Press, 2008). Continuing the blog format of the first book, Schultz's new book tracks the final stages of her mother's battle with Alzheimer's disease. "Schultz brings to her sad and difficult project an impressive range of writing abilities; she gestures through theatre, choreography, poetry, medical, critical, and philosophical exposition, and yet manages to shape this all into an accessible and engaging journal. It is a poignant treatise on dementia written with grace and compassion, as well as a story that honors death and dying with intelligence and art." Fred Wah"
A Poetics of Impasse in Modern and Contemporary American Poetry
Addresses the problem of silence in contemporary experimental poetry and examines silence as an aesthetic strategy in itself. The result is an extended meditation on the precarious balance among competing forces in liberating poetic discourse from the realms of silence and the impasses it creates.
Ethics of Literary Forms in Contemporary American Literature
This work links ethics and the formal arrangement of literary texts. It shows that specific formal techniques and devices and the overall form of literary texts always have an ethical dimension and beg certain ethical questions. Covering the three main genres of narrative, drama and poetry, the discussion addresses aspects of syntax, line breaks, mise-en-scene and narrative situation as well as the table of contents, list of characters and chapter structure in six texts by contemporary American authors (Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, Tony Kushner, Suzan-Lori Parks, John Ashbery and Jorie Graham).
