脱离天空：关于神话和怪物的诗歌

这个选集汇集了由神话，传说和民间故事的启发的新诗。许多专注于古典希腊神话，如回声和水仙，阿拉克斯，阿波罗，Prometheus，Pandora和Persephone，与MinoTaur和Medusa制作了几个外观（在一个例子中在一起！）。挪威神话在Rachel Piercey's to Afgard！'和整个书中的一个有用的特征）交叉参考读者到'Ginnungagap'，Richard O'Brien的诗关于北欧神Loki骗子。各种各样的传统故事提供灵感，包括康沃尔传奇，阿西斯岛的圣弗朗西斯，阿兹特克众神，威尔士巫婆席和金妮绿色牙齿潜伏在水中拖延了毫无戒心的厄运。

Several poets make skilful use of anachronism to give their writing a contemporary relevance: in Mary Anne Clark’s ‘Persephone’s Return’ Demeter waits at the airport for Arrivals from Hades, while Harry Man speaks in the voice of the Witch from Hansel and Gretel as she shows us round her country abode with its sugar window panes instead of ‘typical double-glazing.’ A book challenges in a way few anthologies for children do.
