CRITICAL AND CULTURAL ESSAYS

Robert Schultz's reviews of contemporary poets for The Hudson Review have been selected for inclusion in reference works and single-author studies, including On the Poetry of Philip Levine (University of Michigan Press, 1991) and The Way Home: On the Poetry of Colette Inez (Word Press, 2003). Remarks in A Gradual Twilight: An Appreciation of John Haines (CavanKerry Press, 2003) were drawn from an introduction of that poet at his reading at the Annenberg Poetry Center of the 92 nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association in New York City.

Cultural essays such as "When Men Look at Women: Sex in an Age of Theory" (The Hudson Review, Autumn 1995) and ("Two Stories About the Body: On a Photograph by George Steinmeetz" (The Gettysburg Review, Autumn 2005) treat a range of topics, including photography, film, advertising, fashion, sex, and religion.
