This short collection of poetry is intimate and personal, connecting strongly with reality despite chronicling stories of centaurs, faeries, mermaids, and elves. FAIRY TALES` works, together, tell the story of a woman, a mother, a lover, a Californian. The book is both a portrait of L.A. and a biography of its bizarre and beautiful citizens. Written in the same dreamy and lyric style of Francesca Lia Block's well-renowned novels for both teens and adults, this title is not to be missed by those poets and poetry readers looking for something refreshing and new to read on a sunny afternoon or curled up in bed with a candle lit on the night stand.
