Plough Publishing House Poems to See By
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Comics artist Julian Peters performs a sleight-of-paintbrush, as it were, with an array of powerful verses in Poems to See By, a collection for readers ages 10 to adult. It is a wide and varied collection, both in visuals and text. Here are pieces by Carl Sandburg, Edna St. Vincent Millay and William Ernest Henley. Mr. Peters sets the aching lines of Robert Hayden’s 1962 poem "Those Winter Sundays" as if in the illustrated panels of a graphic novel....Other poems are illustrated with delicate watercolor panels or cartoon drawings in the style of Japanese manga....In a preface, Mr. Peters writes that his motivation for translating great poetry into the visual language of comics was "for love of beauty." In this he has undoubtedly succeeded; reading Poems to See By is a stirring experience." —The Wall Street Journal"By creating interesting juxtapositions of text, imagery, and illustration style, cartoonist Peters elevates each of the 24 visualizations of classic poems here into something much more interesting than mere translation. He highlights the timelessness of regretful longing by rendering William Butler Yeats’s "When You Are Old" as a manga about an elderly woman reflecting on her youth. In "Hope is the thing with feathers," he depicts a vibrantly colored bird watching over black-and-white depictions of a soldier huddled in a foxhole, an impoverished child in China, and an immigrant family entering a new land, lending a sense of universality to Emily Dickinson’s text. At the beginning of Robert Hayden’s "Those Winter Sundays," dark watercolors evoke a dreary cold morning, as the speaker comes to recognizes his father’s habit of waking early to stoke the furnace as an act of love, the palette warms considerably, provoking a visceral flair of emotion. Peters’s virtuosity as an illustrator and keen understanding of the texts included here results in a beautiful, memorable volume." —Library Journal"Poems to See By is a perfect fit not only for die-hard poetry fans and curious new readers—it’s also a fantastic teaching tool that any educator trying to get their students excited by poetry should pick up for their classroom.…[It]harnesses the power of lush visuals, timeless poetry, and the magical alchemy that arises when words and pictures come together to create a reading experience that’s truly unique—one which might even change the way you see poetry for good." —The Good Men Project"By turns whimsical, chilling, and profound, Peters has created a wonderful anthology of classic poems new and old, as well as an inspiring exploration of the wide range of visual possibilities available when bringing poetry into the comics medium. After each graphic version, the poem appears in its original form, so the reader can also experience the poetry in words alone, and compare their own mental images and associations with Peters' choices. Peters particularly excels at adapting weighty subjects, using his art to allude to historical events and styles, such as African textiles and folk art in "Caged Bird", or propaganda films, posters, and black & white photojournalism in "Conscientious Objector." But he also nods to classic American comic strips, film noir, manga, and more." —Gareth Hinds, creator of critically-acclaimed graphic novels, The Iliad and The Odyssey"Comic artist Peters adopts a distinct visual style for each poem in this English-language collection, then imagines a complex narrative to accompany it. For William Ernest Henley's "Invictus" ("I am the master of my fate:/ I am the captain of my soul"), he creates a blocky, black-and-white sequence about a dramatic prison break. For Langston Hughes's "Juke Box Love Song" ("Dance with you till day—/Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl"), tender watercolor portraits illuminate glowing city lights. Some of the black-and-white action of Wordsworth's "The World Is Too Much With Us" unfolds on a smartphone screen, while Tess Gallagher's "Choices" evokes nature's green in scribbly landscapes." —Publishers Weekly"Poetry and comics. It sounds like an uncomfortable union of arts, joining the spiritual desolation of T.S. Eliot or the restlessness of Arthur Rimbaud with the text balloons and exclamation points that have traditionally filled a newspaper's "fun pages." But the forms merge beautifully in the work of Julian Peters…. Peters's work is a great argument for the commonalities between poetry and comic books. The lines of poetry and his comic panels hang together with an unexpected ease, as if their forward rhythms are in synch. Both the words and the images unroll across the page, visually, with the panels sometimes matching the line breaks or stanza breaks. Poetry, unlike most prose, can involve leaps of thought from line to line, which jibes with the way comics leap from panel to panel." —Matthew Gilbert, Boston Globe"The selections . . . encompass a range of moods and media, from a twinkly black-and-white manga version of W.B. Yeats' "When You Are Old" to poignant watercolor scenes illustrating Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays." The text is easy to follow, even when incorporated into the art, and the poems are reprinted at the end of each piece. . . . Fresh angles aplenty for poetic encounters." —Kirkus Reviews"Peters gives 24 classic poems the graphic novel treatment. Entries are grouped into six themes, and the artwork varies in technique and texture. While Peters adopts a manga style for William Butler Yeats's "When You Are Old," he uses charcoal for Emily Dickinson's Hope is the thing with feathers" and a crayon's waxy patchiness for Tess Gallagher's "Choices." Most of the others have a watercolor aesthetic. After presenting a comic interpretation of a poem, Peters lists the full text. Within the comics, words frequently exist in the margins of the panels, sitting just above the imagery. In places where the text exists within a panel, the words occasionally follow the form of the verse, never quite becoming a concrete poem yet still changing direction, as in Maya Angelou's "Caged Bird," which has a quilt-inspired look. Sometimes, but not always, the imagery provides context about the meaning of the verse, which those who struggle with poetry will appreciate." —School Library Journal"Julian Peters sees with his heart, and it’s clear in these loving, deliberate works. “The truth is, I did it all for love of beauty,” he says in his preface, and it is this love of beauty, this curiosity of spirit, and appreciation for the work he covers, that makes Poems to See By both moving and meditative." — Montreal Review of BooksTable of Contents“Hope” Is the Thing with Feathers, by Emily Dickinson Invictus, by William Ernest Henley Caged Bird, by Maya Angelou may my heart always be open, by e. e. cummings Somewhere or Other, by Christina Rossetti Those Winter Sundays, by Robert Hayden In a Station of the Metro, by Ezra Pound When You Are Old, by W.

Book Synopsis Rhymoceros is a fun and colorful, rhyming board book in the Grammar Zoo Book series. In Janik Coat’s much-anticipated follow-up to Hippopposites, a blue rhinoceros unabashedly demonstrates 16 pairs of rhyming words. His ability to appear “stinky” and “inky,” or “caring” and “daring,å” oftentimes lands him in compromising contexts. Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to mind. Surprising novelty features such as gold foil stamping and flocking enhance this unique, gifty, high-design-concept board book.“Like its predecessor, this is a wide-ranging, stylish, and witty introduction to a key concept.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)“[T]here is plenty to enjoy in Coat’s straightforward approach . . . Charmingly simple.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)The Grammar Zoo Trade ReviewA perfect complement to author and illustrator Janik Coat's first book Hippopposites, Rhymoceros is another engaging board book which is not only highly enjoyable to read, but incredibly instructive too.'
