What a refreshing book!
This book presented how a comic artist interpreted poems. I found this book refreshing because the illustrations helped me (a lot) to understand better almost all the poems in this book. It also helped me to dig the meanings behind and beneath each poem.
The illustrations were so good. So fit with each poem. Somehow Julian Peters could easily changed (or adapted) the style of the illustrations to suit the vibe and the messages of each poem.
Some of my favorites, both from the poems and the illustrations sides, are Daybreak in Alabama by Langston Hughes; Truth by Gwendolyn Brooks; Three Haikus About The Moon by Matsuo Bashō, Masaoka Shiki, and Ueda Chōshū; The Eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson; Not Waving but Drowning by Stevie Smith; Fog by Carl Sandburg; I Thank You God For Most This Amazing by e. e. cummings; and God's Grandeur by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
Thank you to Julian Peters, Plough Publishing, Plough Publishing House, and NetGalley for the ARC.
