Dance writers plus!

a novel by New York dance blogger Tonya Plank (Swan Lake Samba Girl)

Swallow, which I've just started reading, hooks you from the opening pages with its breathless urgency and captures what it's like to live in NY now, with money worries and ambition and myriad obligations breathing down your neck, and none of it written in cutesy chick-lit'ry. So give it a try.

--James Wolcott, Vanity Fair Online

available on Amazon


Who Knows One

a book of poems by Boston dance critic Debra Cash

The poems based on stories, language and associations connected to the Passover Haggadah are especially powerful. They do what art is supposed to do: give us a new way to see. Her insights are sometimes provocative, sometimes wistful, sometimes even angry, but they are also always wise. These poems will deepen and broaden the experience of Passover for Jews for generations to come. “Who Knows One” is just breathtaking, and deserves a place in the canon.

--Anita Diamant, author of The Red Tent and Day After Night
