In Grace Schulman’s luminous new collection, music inspires meditations on joy, faith, death, and the heart. The title refers to Itzhak Perlman’s resolution to perform despite a missing string, and so the book celebrates life in its fullness and in its limitations. Here Thelonius Monk evokes Creation when he snaps his fingers “to shape pain into order.” At a street intersection where churches and a synagogue stand together, the poet recalls that “music soared in quarrels, / moans, blues, calls-and-answers, hymns that rose up / together from stone.” Hailed by Harold Bloom as “a vital and permanent poet,” Grace Schulman praises the day even in moments of deepest sorrow.
