Description

Error leads to error in Red Riding Hood's Sister, as a girl in love finds her marriage has turned violent. The poems in this collection use myth and fairy tale, dream, the fantastic mixed with the everyday, to tell the story of a girl not so different from anyone else who finds herself in a desperate situation. Buckling under emotional abuse and in danger, she struggles to save a relationship that has good in it as well as trauma. Eventually she springs the trap, finds her way out. Why does she ignore the warning signs? why does she stay? what does it take to leave and to heal? The poet draws on her own life as she makes sense of abusive marriage. As she tells the story she learns to see her young self in a kinder light--braver than she had thought, deeper than she had thought, on a journey that led through a dark forest. "Hear me, hear me," she whispers to the girl. "I am only beginning to understand."

Author Biography:

Sarah Webb taught English at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma and for over a decade edited poetry for its journal, Crosstimbers. A Buddhist for many years, she presently co-leads a Zen writing group at the Austin Zen Center and helps edit Just This, a magazine of the Zen arts. Her poetry collection Black (Virtual Artists Collective, 2013) was named a finalist for the 2014 Oklahoma Book Award and for the 2014 Writers' League of Texas Book Award. Teaching and publishing, raising a daughter, practicing Zen-this is a life the poet found her way to, but only after a hard start. The book in your hands tells the earlier story, when violence and mistake overwhelmed a young girl. Brought to a standstill, she turned at last to find a way out. This book is offered as a map to others lost in abusive marriage and to those walking away, making sense of what happened. May we heal.
