Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "She Returns to the Floating World" in English language version.
With her collection She Returns to the Floating World, Jeannine Hall Gailey has created a masterpiece. I do not say this lightly.
What echoes throughout Gailey's work is the understanding and the desire to create alternate worlds when reality is chaotic.
'She Returns to the Floating World' brings forth an unusual blend of influence and culture to poetry of a woman of the twentieth century who seen much and produces a product of it all.
'She Returns to the Floating World' is a well-crafted and delightful collection of poems that will take readers on a journey with Gailey beyond the chaos of the modern world into the potential of the future.
In She Returns to the Floating World, Gailey utilizes anime and other aspects of Japanese culture, such as its folklore and attitudes following The Bomb, as she puzzles through how to define she.
Gailey weaves classic themes of transformation, self-knowledge, and natural beauty into a fantastical multi-colored world of fairy tales, animation and video games.
With vivid sensory detail, Gailey invites us into the Fox-wife's world with descriptions such as, the 'smell of smashed leaves underfoot,' 'the curl beneath the bedsheets,' and 'our noses were flames in the forest. The light of torn paper lanterns is never true, the moonlight uneven.'
