Description:
Never Née Fey is a two-part, full-length chapbook containing a reverse-order narrative series of fanged wolf-woman poetry.
Brief description: Dana Miller is a wicked wordsmith, giggling provocateuse, and mega-melomaniac from Atlanta, Georgia. Her poetic syllables like to trundle in the wilds-usually in search of a Pooh-inspired smackerel or two. On their way, they have found themselves featured in Postscript Magazine, Small Leaf Press, Better Than Starbucks, Fairy Piece, Sledgehammer Lit, FERAL: A Journal of Poetry and Art, and Nauseated Drive. When not wielding a lethal pen, Dana adores surf culture, all things U2, Australian grunge rockers, muscle cars, Epiphone guitars, glitter, Doc Martens, and medieval-looking draft horses with feathered feet. She is still actively working toward her lifelong dream of one day being some cosmic blend of Twiggy, Emily Brontë, and Cyndi Lauper. Oxford, England is her forever spirit-home and Radiohead is holding the last shard of her girlhood heart. Never Née Fey is Dana's first full-length book of poetry.
Review Quotes: "Dana's poetry is both warm and cozy like sipping cognac by a fire and daring, dark and dangerous like riding a unicycle on a tightrope. When poetry possesses the power to put you through an emotional rollercoaster, it is precious and priceless. Walking the line between Pulitzer-level intellect and accessibility is a tightrope act in itself. I'm speechless and honestly can't find the proper adjectives. You just need to dive in headfirst."
-Anthony J. Resta (Composer, Producer, Multi-instrumentalist: Duran Duran, Nuno Bettencourt, Elton John)"Born of lived traumas, Dana's pen draws blood-this collection is the fiercest of poetic avengements. Surely there is prescience in Dana's own words: 'the new favourite is on the rise'."-Cauvery Madhavan (Novelist: Paddy Indian, The Tainted)
