Some Girls is full of strange and lovely images, quirky humor, and an
uncanny insight into the classic myths and fairy tales that reveal these
stories to be as true and revelatory as ever. The past and the present,
the personal and the universal, are braided with surprising and lush
language. The great poet Stanley Kunitz said we have to avoid not only
clichés of language, but clichés of thought and these poems succeed in
that. Janet McNally is a fresh and original voice.--Ellen Bass
