| Professional Review: |
| These poem-stories are a strange retelling of seventeen Grimms fairy tales, including "Snow White," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Rapunzel," "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," "The Frog Prince," and "Red Riding Hood." Astonishingly, they are as wholly personal as Anne Sexton's most intimate poems. "Her metaphoric strength has never been greater -- really funny, among other things, a dark, dark laughter" (C.K. Williams). |

Written on February 21, 1998 Summary: Interesting; One can tell that this is Sexton at work. Anne Sexton is my favorite poet. This book contains many of the Grimm Brothers tales (virtually all of them), and she rewrote them to say something to us, the readers. For example, "Rumpelstiltskin", my favorite, has a message, which is the fact that many people can be two-faced; seem ugly and cruel and turn out to be beautiful and heart-warming. This book is Sexton very close to her peak!  Written on October 23, 1997 Summary: An interesting twist on fairy tales; a good read. Okay. I really, really like Anne Sexton. But, in particular, I liked this book, though it was certainly a shakeup. The story of Snow White, for instance, is one of those things that has been taken and made into part of our culture: the eeee-vil stepmother, the good dwarves, the prince. But Sexton takes it and twists it around to absolve the mother of some of the traditional jealousy; Snow White, suddenly, isn't just a poor, helpless little girl but a "dumb bunny" who takes poisonous things from the stepmother multiple times, with the same effect. This is one of those books that makes you think. |
