This collection ranges across decades of prize-winning books, and yet, as its title exclaims, the poetry of\u003cbr\u003eGrace Schulman is as new as the rising sun. As Julie Sheehan has written of her most recent volume, \"Read this collection if you, too, have grieved. Read it if you\u003cbr\u003eneed your own guide to the underworld. Read it if you've ever felt proud to get\u003cbr\u003eat the meaning of poems, of art, of music.
