Flights from Fairyland

"Karen Lee Oliver's Flights from Fairyland is a poetic medley addressing myriad topics, from philosophical questions surrounding identity and truth to contemplations of nature and considerations of fictional and historical figures as diverse as Gertrude Stein and Cinderella.

This book is comprised of free verse and rhyming poems, most written in English and a few in French.

Oliver's collection offers some rewards."
