Copper Canyon brought out her second book, Wedding Day, in 2005. The Los Angeles Times says of her work, 'Dana Levin's poems are extravagant... her mind keeps making unexpected connections and the poems push beyond convention... they surprise us.' Levin has received many fellowships and awards, including those from the Rona Jaffe, Whiting and Guggenheim Foundations. A teacher of poetry for twenty years, Levin joins the faculty at Santa Fe University of Art and Design in Fall 2011.

About Sky Burial:

"Levin's gaze is unflinching, and the reader is implicated and challenged at every turn."
—Ploughshares

"Levin's work is phenomenological; it details how it feels to be an embodied consciousness making its way through the world: the I casting itself outward by means of the eye."
—Boston Review
