I just bought Mary Oliver's Swan[1] and it's quite a great read.

Also, I wrote a paper in grad school comparing the Brothers Grimm's Fairy Tales to Anne Sexton's Transformations[2] as Homer compared to Sappho, and they are a thauma widesthai, if you like Grimm stories reinterpreted by a slightly unstable Bostonian feminist.
