<p>What does it mean to make a home inside a story? Stories are safe, comfortable, familiar. Fairytales and myths, these stories we all know and grew up with are even more so.</p> <p><i>A Refuge of Tales</i> takes everyday tropes and asks: safe for who? This is a collection of poems for anyone who has ever felt outside of the myth.</p> <p>With language both sharp and lyrical, Lynne Sargent weaves a treatise on the power of stories, and how those who have been left behind can take up that power and use it to build a new, better world.</p>
