"Unruly Tree is a joyful, searching book that pursues questions about the world of creativity and play. In conversation with the Oblique Strategies--a deck of cards created in 1975 by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt--Ullman's collection is filled with curiosity, a desire to understand the thinking of other artists, and the beautiful uncertainties of the self."--Jehanne Dubrow, author of Exhibitions: Essays on Art and Atrocity
"Because there is no shrugging off 'the weight and shame / of being human, ' the gift that Leslie Ullman's Unruly Tree offers is precious, as over and over its poems 'glimpse / something diamond pure / for a moment in ourselves.'"--Harvey L. Hix, author of The Gospel According to H. L. Hix
