Snake~Nation~Review Issue 21
Dance From Inside My Bones

Winner of the Violet Reed Haas Poetry Award

Poetry by Lana Hechtman Ayers

There’s such sweetness and bravery in Lana Hechtman Ayers’ poems, a clarity that’s always gentled by the poems’ lyricism and by the poet’s ability to see her own life — even the losses and cruelties she’s faced — with humor and grace and a faith that’s “verdant” and “calmly stirring.” Dance From Inside My Bones offers the reader that cool shade, too, with upturned palms. It’s a generous offering, a gift.


— Cecilia Woloch

“Poling’s columns are true-to-life and laugh out loud funny. His imagination is vivid and his storytelling is actually literature.”

Please welcome Kathy Flann, whose keen eye, quick pencil, and tremendous heart have reached practically everybody in the invented but wholly believable community of Smoky Ordinary, from small to great, the up-and-comers to the down-and-outers, from the woman caring for her dying husband to the man that howls like a dog, from a jaded former United States President to the bird smashed on the grill of his limo. This collection marks the beginning of an original and memorable career.
