“How to describe the charm and piquancy and high spirits and  sheer originality of  A Girl and Her Gods? Call it a  mythological novel in verse—many different kinds of verse, including lighthearted Englishings of ancient Greek forms. Daphne, the sexy innocent, offspring of a nymph and a seer, pursues her complex destiny—or it pursues her—in a landscape  as  fresh as morning and peopled by gods who are human as  herself.  No poet I know of writes anything like this—Becca dances to the tune of her own Panpipes, and the reader follows, entranced.” —Katha Pollitt, columnist, The Nation
