Description
“I believe in all women who mark time in heartbeats,” Roberta Schultz writes in her new collection, UNDERSCORE. In these poems we respect the voice of a musician, a keeper of songs and memories, facts and folklore: “Our voices clatter around the table, escape like ragged birds.” Schultz is so adept at weaving the sacred and the secular that you rarely notice the magic until she has slipped it into a song, a bit of whimsy, or a meditation. She gives us faith in human resilience, even as she asks us, in difficult times, to “pull from the well of your throat a rune for stillness.” —Cathryn Essinger author of The Apricot and the Moon
