Synopsis
Michael Lally is excited by the power of truth...--The New Yorker

Review
"Something Back" goes a long way toward capturing the wryness in Michael Lally's poetic tone: "I never had a backache before / I started working out, / now I'm like all those other / jock Adonises, pretending to be / the healthiest man you've ever / scanned when it's all a sham . . . ." Self-consciousness, awareness of absurdity, and underlying fear (of aging, in this case) mark a great deal of these poems, whether they're about relationships, religion, or some other important folly. Lally is an insightful, entertaining writer.
From the Back Cover
In Cant Be Wrong, the take-no-prisoners stance of Lally's early work is tempered with a deepening tenderness and awareness of human mortality. There is an unmistakable mastery of a colloquial, intimate tone that moves through level after level of experience without ever losing the reader. A superb craftsman who pushes the envelope of what can be said in poetry, Lally is also that rare poet who communicates with a lyrical but unabashed directness that respects the reader's desire to understand.
