Prose. Poetry. Part of Atelos' Hip's Road project, which is devoted to publishing writing that challenges the conventional definitions of poetry, Schultz' book does just that. Comprised of three sections of prose and poetry, with the last section entitled A Novel: Some Vague Wife, Schultz continually pushes the boundaries of language and form, while exploring, most often, the constructs of sex, gender, and class. Schultz is the co-editor of LIPSTICK ELEVEN, available at SPD, and her poetry, experiemental fiction, and critical essays have appeared in many journals, including TRIPWIRE, FOURTEEN HILLS, and KENNING.
