About the Author

Sara Levy says: I made up poems in my head to alleviate the boredom of long-distance running. Then, I started writing them down.

I have held most, if not all, of the usual boho jobs writers list on dust jackets, so I'll spare you.

People always seem to be asking me for directions.

Yes this is my REAL hair.

I am strangely obsessed with fish.

4.0 out of 5 stars ... Review of Stiletto Talk, February 1, 2002
This review is from: Stiletto Talk (Paperback)
Sara Levy's poetry chapbook, Stiletto Talk, presents fifteen of her poems, each sharp, stylistic, and provoking.

Levy is a sharp and hip D.C. poet, whose works border on the abstract, as in "How to End It" -- What is needed then is / high-octane closure / with the finality / of seams and / the innuendo / of roar.

Many of her poems exude a quiet sensuality without becoming trite or sappy. In "Caduceus", named for the medical symbol of intertwined serpents, Levy writes -- But those emblematic tongues / paired embers of moist / in those arid twists, / well, they made me smile.

Her haiku are stunning in that they offer a very modern twist on a traditional form, with titles almost as long as the poems themselves, such as "Haiku for the Unlucky Woman Tasked with Writing 'Dominatrixhood for Dummies'".
