It is about her father,there is no fairytalein this story. Her father was a
drunk nad alcoholicand she would hang with her Great Aunt to get away.

This poem is more than a fairy tale re-write. The poem is not about
Sleeping Beauty (Briar Rose.)The use of that story is crafted as a
metaphor. This poem is about the author, Anne Sexton. It is a graphic and
tragic account of the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father.
The entire poem dipicts the horror she experienced as a helpless child
beneath his hand and expresses the horror she continued to experience as an
adult dealing with the memory of that abuse.
Look past the story you know so well and picture the scenes in your mind
that the author has so graphically crafted; you will SEE nothing resembling
a fairy tale here.

I agree with the last reviewist. This poem shows an insight to Slepping
Beauty's story more so than any book written about her than I have read
myself.

This was a great poem. A great understanding of the story of Sleeping
Beauty. A lovely poetic retelling.
