What People Are Saying

Lifting a phrase from Jane Schulman’s wide-eyed poetry, here is a place “where sacred and everyday collide.” Where Blue is Blue savors the layers hidden in a stolen iPhone, a grave stone, flannel shirts tossed to the floor, ice skinning a puddle in the park. I love the way Schulman’s poems leave me feeling: connected to all that lives and all that dies, a little more in love with the world.

~Mary Johnson, author of An Unquenchable Thirst

These are generous, evocative poems in Jane Schulman’s first collection. Read all together, they take the reader to a good place full of family, belief, hope, and even love. 

~Esther Cohen is the author of six books.

Jane Schulman’s poems sustain a belief in the deep-down goodness of things, even when goodness manifests in the distressing disguises of illness, aging, and mortality. Her deep allegiance is to the human story itself, and she beautifully evokes the poignant and comic moments within it. These poems are all heart, making a case for kindness—and a humorous willingness to drop everything and make love!—as the best response to the gift of life.

~Patrick Donnelly, author of Little-Known Operas, Nocturnes of the Brothel of Ruin, and The Charge.
