so-soI really like the concept here, but the actual pieces were hit or miss. A few were incredible, a few I found really hard to parse in the new format (luckily after the comic rendering the original poem was always included), most were an interesting experience, and I‘ll probably keep the book, but it‘s definitely not going to become my preferred form of poetry.
pickI received this book through #LibraryThing ‘s Early Reviewers Program.
Peters pairs 24 classic poems with beautiful illustrations. My favorites are Juke Box Love Song by Langston Hughes, Birches by Robert Frost (both pictured) and Conscientious Objector by Edna St. Vincent Millay. The illustrations throughout are gorgeous
pickThis book takes famous poems & pairs the words with gorgeous illustrations. Every poem has a different style of artwork. I always struggle with poetry. I want to love it more than I do. This pairing worked well for me because it brought the words to life in a way that poems on their own often fail to do for me. Instead of reading each poem quickly, I focused the artwork and how it built a story behind each line. It made the poems more accessible.
