<p>"An inside/outside dance by a brilliant mathematician/poet whose wisdom makes the everyday world shine and whose heartfelt joy fills you with happy cheer. A book of stunning poems like "Arrhythmia," "Entropy Is Increasing," "The Good Patient," "Dispatch to My First Love" with its shimmeringly ironic announcement about love being over: It's a good thing since loving a memory / is a terrible waste of paper. Or the poem about wanting what we can't have from which the title comes and shows the whole book to be spectacularly double-sided: If I could have, I would have learned how / to dance from inside my bones. Warm and witty, revelatory and mysterious, it's a book of charm and talent--readable and rereadable page after page." --F. D. Reeve</p>

Poetry

As you venture deep into the shadowy forest, whom do you find more alluring: the strapping, protective Huntsman...or the coiled and hungry passion of the artful Wolf? In What Big Teeth, celebrated poet Lana Hechtman Ayers reveals the true-life story of Red Riding Hood, recounting with tenderness-and a new erotic candor-both the anguish and hidden pleasures of straying from the well-worn path. Epic in scope but delivered with striking intimacy, the poems move us from the innocence of girlhood through the pulchritude of adolescence, the mendacities of marriage, and the transgression of infidelity. With whom will Red tango in the dark of the woods: the Huntsman or the Wolf? The answer is transcendent. What Big Teeth serves as a powerful prelude to Lana's forthcoming full-length collection, A New Red. -Jeff Gomez, CEO Starlight Runner Entertainment

A meditation on the choices a woman makes in her life, in her relationships, and in her art, this book maps the journey through the trials, wonders, and frustrations of a love affair.
