I have spent the past year in an intense period of learning, taking workshops
with poets and graduate courses in poetry. In one of these courses, the instructor
challenged her students to respond to Sexton’s work. These poems are
part of that longer work in which I respond to the Grimm fairy tales and Anne
Sexton’s
Transformations. While this is not an attempt or claim to be Sexton herself,
or to presume a level of craft, it is a way to speak to existing literature
and add my voice, for what it’s worth.
