Abstract
Those Lost in the Wood is an original collection of poems accompanied by a critical preface. The collection is inspired by classic fairytales written by the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Anderson as well as the golden age of children’s literature with such works like Peter and Wendy by J.M. Barrie and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol. The main themes explored within the collection are womanhood, play, and grief. A variety of poetic forms and literary devices are used to appeal to the inspiration of the collection and its themes.
