description: In Girl Talk, poet Nancy McCleery takes the simple premise of two friends talking, then beautifully expands on it. The effect is lyrical and soulful. The poet’s friend is an artist who translates her hopes and beliefs into colorful mediums, much like Ms. McCleery uses words. Their conversations are often blunt, sometimes bordering on the argumentative, but always underlined with the sort of love and respect friends offer in support of each other.Ms. McCleery uses imagery as an artist uses paint, with meanings both obvious and layered in effect.
