Light & Shadow: Poems - Paperback

by Sara Deacon (Author)

You might recognize some familiar names and faces in these pages. Rapunzel. Snow White. Witches, hunters and kings.

And these tales are not the tales you remember.

Inspired by Grimm's Fairy Tales, well-known and lesser-known works of art, personal performances and other stories told a long, long time ago, this collection of poetry from Sara Deacon peeks behind the curtain into the unspoken moments of fairy-tale relationships, emotions and identities.

Written in the early years of the 21st century as part of her master's degree thesis, Sara's work shines a light on the complexity of human nature and holds up a mirror to the self as art confronts art.
