Im a massive Cat Valente fangirl, so I love everything she writes, and her poetry is no exception. Poetry is hit or miss with me, but when it hits it hits hard. A lot of Cats work plays with elements and themes in folktales and myths, giving them a new spin and weaving new worlds out of them. In these poems, she addresses some of our most famous folktales (Rapunzel, Cinderella, etc) in their entirety and reinterprets the stories from the POV of the female characters. So, so good!
