Never Née Fey is a two-part, full-length chapbook containing a reverse-order narrative series of Dana’s most fanged wolf-woman poetry, composed over the course of the past fifteen years and handling disarming themes such as the excavation of damseldom, pastoral femme-feralia, Irish mysticism, and the leather-feathered underthings of the real rock-n-roll highway life. Consisting of inverted twin parts: “Viologens” and “Concrete Vellum,” the first might be thought of as the gore and glamour that make the pyrrhic victories of the second possible. As reflection of a lifetime spent obsessively reading around deep-burning women’s issues and the forest as an entity, Never Née Fey is something born of the controlled savagery and philotherian noise words that best elucidate the experience of living as a woman utterly liberated from the modern archetypes set forth by today’s comfort-drunk world.
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.
