A wide-ranging and appealingly fairy-sized treasury of fantastical poems from across the centuries and around the world Fascination with fairies spans centuries and cultures. With ancient roots in pagan belief, fairies have long populated mythology, folklore, and oral and written poetry. They have seen repeated surges of renewed popularity from the Renaissance to the present fantasy-besotted moment. Elves, changelings, leprechauns, pixies, brownies, and sprites, England’s Queen Mab, France’s Melusine, Scandinavian nixies, and Scottish selkies: these magical creatures are sometimes mischievous, sometimes dangerous, but always enchanting. This collection brings together a diverse array of literary fairies: here are Spenser’s Faerie Queene, Shakespeare‘s Titania, and Keats’s “La Belle Dame Sans Merci,” but also Arthur Rimbaud’s “Fairy,” Goethe's "Erlking," Claude McKay’s “Snow Fairy,” Denise Levertov’s “Elves,” Sylvia Plath’s “Lorelei," Christopher Okigbo's "Watermaid," and Neil Gaiman's "The Fairy Reel.” Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

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
