Reviews

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. . . . Fresh angles aplenty for poetic encounters.--Kirkus Review 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
