In my previous post, I mentioned Main Street Rag, a North Carolina publisher. Currently I’m reading two books from that line: Richard Allen Taylor’s Punching Through the Egg of Space and Maureen A. Sherbondy’s After the Fairy Tale. I’m very fortunate to know both of these very fine poets!
Speaking of fairy tales, I’m also reading My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me, a collection of modern fairy tales edited by Kate Bernheimer. Each of the stories is a take on an older fairy tale. The sources from which the authors borrow include the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Anderson, and Italo Calvino. VERY cool read.
