註釋

Story Hour takes many well-known fairy tales - "Jack and the Beanstalk, " "Beauty and the Beast, " "Little Red Riding Hood" - and turns them on end. In her poems, Sara Henderson Hay asks us to feel compassion for "the murdered Giant, " to believe that the grandmother might even invite the wolf in and offer him "a warm bed, and a bone or two." Hay's adept voice makes these familiar stories at times funny, always ironic, and, as Miller Williams writes in the foreword to this new version, "even scarier than th were." Whether these sonnets bring to the surface a joke we hadn't imagined or quicken our memory to a darkness only hinted at before, they always invite us to go back into what Miller Williams calls "these old houses we thought we knew so well."
