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." -Michelle Rhea, editor Incarnate Muse Press
