By reimagining the traditional forms of fable, fairy tale, and myth, and borrowing a bit from magical realism, Fabulous Beast contends with decisions faced by women who no longer fit neatly in traditional roles and so must construct new ones.The first section, The Sow, is a fable told through a sequence of free verse poems. These poems examine motherhood through the experience of a shape-shifting animal. The manuscripts second section is a long poem, The Woman with the Frog Tongue, written in Spenserian stanzas and organized according to the morphology of the fairy tale as laid out in Vladimir Propps Thirty-One Functions told in ten chapter-poems. At the poems end, the reader is offered three possible endings with which to resolve the womans strange and difficult tale. The third section of the chimerical Fabulous Beast is Minor Gods, a sequence of metrical poems exploring autonomy, sexuality, and fidelity through the lens of mythology.The entire collection ends with one last conversation between the mother and child from the books central fairy tale. The child, trying to make sense of her place in the world, listens to her mother speak about her own childhood. In this closing prose poem, she attempts to assure her daughter that our very terrible moments are often short-lived, and what lasts is a renewed sense of presence, of aliveness, in the world. She allows that this anecdote has its limitations, however: I want you to believe me, she says in the books final lines.
