New Release: On The Dark Path: An Anthology of Fairy Tale Poetry

On The Dark Path: An Anthology of Fairy Tale Poetry, edited by Anita M. Barnard, was released last month but I've been saving it for April since this is National Poetry Month in the US.

Book description:

A haunting and profound collection of fairy tale based poems from modern writers. Speaking to us from the woods and the cottage, from the marriage bed, the hospital bed, the writing group and the camps at Dachau, the forty-eight poets in this anthology of poems based on traditional fairy tales, edited by DFW poet and longtime fairy tale enthusiast Anita M. Barnard, bring their personal worlds to the fairy tale and the fairy tale out into the world at large. "On the Dark Path is a hauntingly beautiful collection of poems that lead us deeper into these ancient tales than we've been before. Powerful, surprising, sometimes brutal, these poems enchant the imagination and linger in the mind for days.

If you live in the Dallas, TX area, there will be a reading featuring the editor and some of the poets in May. You can read more about it at book release.
