I've been reading poetry lately. It's a new thing I'm doing and it's not easy. I've never really been a poetry reader. The education I received stopped covering that after sixth grade. So far I've found that I really like Anne Sexton. She's easy to understand. Her best work is about her battle with mental illness but Transformations was ok. It's a book based on the Grimms' fairy tales. While she covers familiar fairy tales like Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel she also does fairy tales that aren't really known like The Wonderful Musician and One-Eye, Two-Eyes, Three-Eyes. Most of the time variations on fairy tales are tiresome but this one was all right.
