Erica Lehrer is the author of Dancing with Ataxia, she is a graduate of Princeton University and NYU School of Law and lives in Houston with her husband, where she has raised a son, a daughter and three literary cats. Dancing With Ataxia is her first published collection of poems. While some of the poems are informed by the progressive neurological disease of ataxia, others celebrate the bright moments of life, such as romance, childbirth and the satiating one's appetite. As the author notes in one of her poems "I am more than the sum of my symptoms."
