With a career spanning 50+ years, Grace Schulman, is an award-winning poet, editor and educator.

She has published nine collections of poetry, including Again, the Dawn: New and Selected Poems, 1976-2022 (Turtle Point Press, 2022) and Days of Wonder: New and Selected Poems (Harper Collins, 2022).  The latter, was selected by Library Journal as one of the “best poetry books” of 2002. Her collection of essays, First Loves and Other Adventures (2010), reflects on her life as a writer and reader.

Typically written in a lucid free verse that occasionally reaches vatic heights, Schulman’s poems often take on subjects of art, history, and faith. Schulman’s history is usually that of her beloved New York City, where she has lived and worked as a dedicated poetry advocate all her life. Earthly moments and details of city life constantly suggest larger spiritual questions. Poet Ron Slate has described Schulman as “not only a poet of praise, but one who addresses the grounding questions of this mode. How and why do we find beauty in adversity?”

Grace Schulman was awarded the 2016 Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement in American Poetry, by the Poetry Society of America.

Among her honors are the Aiken Taylor Award for poetry, the Delmore Schwartz Memorial Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, four Pushcart Prizes, New York University's Distinguished Alumni Award, and a Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts.

Editor of The Poems of Marianne Moore (Viking, 2003), Schulman is Distinguished Professor (Emeritus)of English, Baruch College, CUNY. She is former director of the Poetry Center, 92nd Street Y, 1974-84, and former poetry editor of The Nation, 1971-2006.
