Brothers Grimm in prose

this was probaby the most "not commenting on the world" poetry I have ever read and liked. Retellings of the classic brothers grimm fairy tales -- including all the gore -- with casual references to modern metaphors, objects and, and society.

easy to get lost in, short, and there is one spicy one with Rapunzel which has a lot of age gap lesbian yearning.

found it on thrift for 7, worth the price.

Review of 'Transformations' on 'Storygraph'

These are fairy tales for adults set to verse.
Really enjoyed Sexton's different takes on classic fairtales like Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, etc.
This is fairly short book, I would reread these again.
