Poems to See by: A Comic Artist Interprets Great Poetry by Julian Peters
5.0
A collection of famous and not so famous poetry, all redesigned as comic strips.
I don't know a lot of poetry. I'll put my hands up to that. This was a fantastic way to introduce myself to some new poets. I'll be looking up a few of them in the future.
My favourite thing is that each poem is illustrated in a different style. Although they're recognisably the same artist - at least, to my extremely untrained eye - they're different enough to still be visually interesting and to keep the reader from getting bored or skipping details.
This would be fantastic in a school setting, but it's also brilliant for a casual reader like me. I'll certainly be returning to it in the future. Beautiful.
