review:
'Poems to See by: A Comic Artist Interprets Great Poetry' with art by Julian Peters is a collection of 24 pretty famous poems interpreted visually by the artist.

Divided in to different categories of seeing, like yourself, art, death, etc., the book presents the graphic version of the poem followed by a text version only. There are some very famous poems in here by Emily Dickinson and William Wordsworth and Edgar Allan Poe, and some less familiar (to me anyway) works. All are presented in different ways as the artist interprets.

As a child, I remember there was a man who would come to our library on occasion and read us poems. We had our favorites, but this early exposure to poetry harbored a lifetime interest. I liked this collection of poems and it's approach. It shows how visually poems can be, and maybe it will help another young person to appreciate these poems and others.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Plough Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
