Praise for Dance the Black-Eyed Girl:
Reading these poems is like visiting with a cherished family member, the one who knows, just back from the reunion and the general store with a report or two on things as they are.
— James Baker Hall
With their clear, rightly chosen image, Sherry Chandler’s poems visit many stages of human experience and explore its depths.
— Jane Gentry
Chandler’s sensual poems smell like Vitalis, cigarettes, and nostalgia; taste like Heaven Hill, chicken thighs, and longing. They negotiate the bittersweet journey between memor and desire with style, compassion, and a strong Southern sense of narrative.
— Elaine Fowler Palencia
The voice in these poems is unerringly authentic, as real and compact as plump, yellow-hulled walnuts in the backyard tree — gritty, meat-filled, a pleasure to taste and savor.
— Richard Taylor
These poems, gentle yet edgy, are full of wry, sometimes ambivalent affection for the people and circumstances of her life.
— Mary E. O’Dell
