Poems to See by: A Comic Artist Interprets Great Poetry by Julian Peters
3.0
Inspired by the beauty of poetry, Julian Peters has created a wonderful collection of images depicting 24 classic works written by poets such as Emily Dickinson, William Ernest Henley, Maya Angelou, e.e. Cummings, Christina Rossetti, Robert Hayden, Langston Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Thomas Hardy, Jess Gallagher, Edgar Allan Poe, and more.
Peters said, "I wanted to pay tribute to the way these poems made me feel, to spend time with them, to pull them in as close to me as possible in the way that felt to me, as someone who draws comics, the most natural."
I read a digital ARC and some of the poems don't have artwork yet. I love the way Peters used different styles for each poem. My favourite is Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
