A review by casparb
Transformations by Anne Sexton
not the strongest work here but the poem Rumpelstiltskin got me thinking about this anne as an influence on Anne Carson, the way she leans into a narrative, unpeels it. I feel AC studied this collection in particular quite closely in its tales. In a way it's difficult for me to imagine something like Autobiography of Red being written without Transformations as precursor

if you can't tell, I didn't do my research on this. but the title and fairytale content suggest that Anne is approaching this collection as a Version (update) of Ovid's Metamorphoses, following the brothers Grimm, rather than the canon of Greek myth. I think that's neat good job AS
regardless of all that I enjoyed myself I like spending time with her
