Transformations Paperback - 2001
by Anne Sexton
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).
Summary

Williams).
First line
The speaker in this case is a middle-aged witch, me - tangled on my two great arms, my face in a book and my mouth wide, ready to tell you a story or two.
