The poems in Bill Schulz's Another Psalm are as unlike "another" as possible-they're spiritually adept, original, and altogether necessary in the way of the psalter. One may say the reader of Schulz's poems becomes an intercessor-we feel acutely that we're receiving and soon will bear good news. These poems are clear as Russian tea in a glass, clarifying in their attention to the smallest things, and tinged with the loving kindness of imagination.
