Girl wanting story recalled evening of poetry (6)
I believe the answer is:
eileen
'girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'wanting story recalled evening of poetry' is the wordplay.
'wanting' says to put letters next to each other.
'story' becomes 'lie' (story can mean a fabrication).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'evening of poetry' becomes 'e'en' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lie' in reverse letter order is 'eil'.
'eil'+'een' is 'EILEEN'.
(Other definitions for eileen that I've seen before include "Female name (not beginning with A)" , "Female name (including three letters E)" , "Girl's name" , "Girl" , "F. name; nee Eli (anag.)" .)
