She Returns to the Floating World, Gailey's abiding interest in female heroes and tales of transformation, love,
and loss bristles to life with a cast of characters including wives who become foxes, sisters who become birds, and robots with souls. - "I deeply admire the skill with which Jeannine Hall Gailey weaves myth and folklore into poems illuminating the realities of modern
life. Gailey is, quite simply, one of my favorite American poets; and She Returns to the Floating World
is her best collection yet."

here! - "Gailey writes with a voice full of wit and charm that keeps the reader somewhat off balance.
She serves a dish of fairy tales and myths, part vixen and part Carol Burnett.
Hers is an edginess that makes new those tales with which we are familiar. An excellent read that
will leave you wanting more."
