Wedding Day

From Ars Poetica Six monarch butterfly cocoons clinging to the back of your throat- you could feel their gold wings trembling. . . Dana Levin's singular voice and talent are unmistakable. Wedding Day is Levin's quest to synthesize the public and private, to find pattern and connection amid the disparate elements of modern life. Relentless in her examinations, she ultimately puts faith in poetry, believing it is the truest means-and best chance-to bridge the chasms between soul and society. Readers will put faith in Levin's poetry as well. Dana Levin and her debut volume, In the Surgical Theatre, have received nearly every award available for first books and emerging writers. Levin lives and teaches in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
