Timeline

1952

Alice Fulton (born 1952) is an American author of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.

Fulton is the Ann S. Bowers Professor of English Emerita at Cornell University.

Her awards include the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature, National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, Library of Congress Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, an Ingram Merrill Foundation Award, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship.

Fulton was born and raised in Troy, New York, the youngest of three daughters.

Her father was the proprietor of the historic Phoenix Hotel, and her mother was a visiting nurse.

She began writing poetry in high school.

1979

In 1979 she attended a women's poetry conference in Amherst, Mass., which she would later cite as a formative experience.

While an undergraduate, she received competitive scholarships to study poetry with Thomas Lux at The Writers Community in New York City.

1980

In 1980 she married Hank De Leo and moved to Ithaca, New York, to study poetry under A. R. Ammons, Phyllis Janowitz, Kenneth McClane, and Robert Morgan in Cornell University's Creative Writing Program.

While at Cornell, her first book was selected by W. D. Snodgrass for the Associated Writing Program's publication prize.

After receiving her MFA, she was a fellow at The Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.

1983

In 1983 Fulton moved to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a three-year appointment as Fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows.

1985

Mark Strand selected Fulton's second book, Palladium, for publication in the 1985 National Poetry Series.

In the interdisciplinary Society of Fellows she further developed her interest in using scientific metaphor and began her lifelong friendship with John H. Holland.

She has often cited Holland's writing on Complex Adaptive Systems as being instrumental in the development of her theory on Fractal Poetics [see Fulton's prose collection].

It was also where she met the composers William Bolcom and Enid Sutherland.

1991

In 1991 Fulton was awarded a MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellowship.

In addition to poetry, Fulton has written essays and criticism and has been widely praised for her finely crafted and emotionally powerful short fiction.

1996

Alice Fulton was a senior fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows from 1996 to 2000.

2002

She remained at University of Michigan until 2002, when she returned to Ithaca as the Ann S. Bowers Distinguished Professor of English at Cornell University.

The Library of Congress awarded Fulton the Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt Award in 2002.

2004

In 2004 she was the Holloway Lecturer in the Practice of Poetry at University of California, Berkeley, and in 2010 she was the George Elliston Poet at University of Cincinnati.

She has also been a visiting professor at University of California, Los Angeles, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, and a number of other universities.

Fulton's poetics "challenges the conventional wisdom among many poets that the content of a poem is less important than its form. In practice, Fulton has created a poetic style that is remarkably "about things" in the sense that her poems explore their overt subject matter deeply and uphold their convictions with rigor. Cascade Experiment ... amply demonstrates not only Fulton's broad range of interests but also her continual and evolving sense of how to use the most seemingly insignificant details to illuminate the nuances of difficult moral ideas."

-- Sarah Cohen

Alice Fulton has suggested that poetry is a "model of the way the world works".

Her poetry has been described as "intricately crafted, yet expansive — even majestic — in its scope and vision. One senses there is something startling about to be revealed in these poems, and indeed that mystery or tension often resolves in powerful acts of linguistic reckoning, as if a piece of psychological origami were unfolding before our eyes."

The editors of Twentieth-Century American Poetry suggest that "In her drive to freshen poetic diction, avoid cliche and sentimentality, and create 'skewed domains‚' in her poetry, Fulton has distinguished herself as one of the most original American poets writing today. She has succeeded in challenging not only assumptions about gender roles, but also the assumptions underlying current modes of poetry such as the autobiographical, first-person lyric or the experimental 'Language poem.'"

In his introduction to Fulton's first book, Dance Script With Electric Ballerina, W. D. Snodgrass reads Fulton's poetry as a rare example of logopoeia ("the dance of the intellect among words") and writes that "we are always engaged by ... the sense of linguistic virtuosity ... a constant delight ... in language textures, the every-shifting shock and jolt of an electric surface."

Newsday, called it an "extremely impressive poetic debut‚" and a Boston Herald reviewer wrote, "Reading her poems is something like listening to a set of the most spirited and peculiar jazz: you must sharpen your spirit to be moved by what is uncanny and rare."

While most critical response to this debut volume was positive, conservative critics were "more guarded, or even catty."

Her second collection consolidated the "polyphonic textures," shifts in diction, and signature enjambments that have become hallmarks of her poetry.

Palladium is structured in six parts, each focused on the etymology of "palladium" with the trope carried to Ellen Foscue Johnson's palladium photographic print on the cover.

One review explained the organizing structure this way: "Etymology breeds metaphor; palladium generates the imagery and energy of the poems, informing them all without necessarily intruding upon them. The organizing principle of an Alice Fulton poem allows for cohesiveness yet is not so narrow or restrictive as to inhibit the flow of associations and ideas. It's as though the world itself were endowed with a centrifugal force, enabling the poet to branch out in numerous directions — parallel lines that manage to intersect on their separate paths to infinity."

Sven Birkerts, noting Fulton's "irrepressible inventiveness" and "startling juxtapositions," named this an "aesthetic of profusion."

Critics praised these "compressed poems of great texture and inventiveness," as "prepossessing and formidable," "hardwon and solid."

2008

The Nightingales of Troy collects the ten stories she had published before 2008.

Two of those stories were selected for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories.

Three contemporary authors share the distinction of appearing in both The Best American Short Stories and The Best American Poetry series: Alice Fulton, Lydia Davis, and Stuart Dybek.

2011

In 2011 she received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature.
