Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"In this splendidly entertaining debut, Jeannine Hall Gailey offers us a world both familiar and magical-filled with fairytale and mythology characters that are our own bedfellows-we wake up with Philomel and argue with Ophelia while half-listening to a Snow Queen, amidst Spy Girls, Amazons and Mongolian Cows. The wild and seductive energy in this collection never lets one put the book down. (In fact, any one who opens the collection in the bookstore and reads such poems as The Conversation and Job Requirements: A Supervillain's Advice will want to buy the book!) For her delivery is heart-breaking and refreshing, so the poems seduce us with the sadness, glory and entertainment of our very own days. Propelled by Jeannine Hall Gailey's alert, sensuous, and musical gifts, the mythology becomes all our own." -Ilya Kaminsky, author of the award-winning Dancing in Odessa

Felicity, December 29, 2007 (view all comments by Felicity)
This is smart, accessible poetry that swoops from the funny to the chillingly beautiful. The poet doesn't respect the boundaries between reality and folklore, comic books and Ancient Greece, the modern and the primeval. All of it is one mass of experience to question, celebrate, and overcome. Splendid.

Note: For some reason this book is classified everywhere as feminist theory. It's a book of poems, I promise.
