Why do those frowning vapors interpose
The Pulter Project
Poet in the Making
Dear daughters, come, make haste away
Poet in the Making
Is Lisle and Lucas slain? O say not so!
Those glittering globes of light which grace
All you that have indulgent parents been
Let none sigh more for Lucas or for Lisle
Come, my dear children, to this lonely place
Have patience, my afflicted soul
Young Anne: Come, my dear sister, sit with me awhile
Sir, Extremely I deplore your loss

Those encountering Pulter for the first time might start with the elemental editions, with their modernized text and relatively simple annotations.
Those ready for more will enjoy the amplified editions, each governed by its own principles and more extensive annotation.
Curations offer an array of verbal and visual materials that invite contemplation of different ways in which a particular poem might be contextualized. Sources, analogues, and glimpses into earlier or subsequent cultural phenomena all might play into possible readings of a given poem.
Explorations are gatherings of materials related to more than one of (or even all of) Pulter’s poems. We encourage readers to look beyond individual poems (and their poem-specific curations) to matters of broader relevance to Pulter and her work.
