I would recommend it to a friend of mine and my sister. My friend loves poetry and appreciates good artwork. My sister, like me, loves paintings and graphic art. I'm sure both will enjoy this book.

I would recommend this book to my friend, Mmeso. She wrote an anthology of poems and loves relating to other authors’ words. I think it’s particularly nice that Artwords has art as well.

Latest Review: Zona II by Fred G. Baker

Post by Emma Jane Grey »

I would perhaps recommend it to a friend who has an interest in redactive poetry and writes some of her own, but otherwise I can’t say I’d actively recommend it to most people since the repetition of the same types of sexual innuendo poems felt really overdone by about a third of the way through the book. I liked them and they’re clever, but it’s a difficult one to recommend as a collection in its entirety due to the repetitious nature of the content.

MehulPan wrote: 14 Nov 2023, 01:26 I'd also like to recommend this book to a younger version of myself. I was so into drawing and painting when I was young. I'd forget everything and focus on my drawings. But, due to a teacher of mine, I couldn't continue it and I still have a grudge against that teacher.
That's the society we are in now. The vulnerable people we have with us, including our parents sometimes, make us curve on our talent and expertise, but in life, that's why you have to fight and that's what we all have to do.

I recommend the book to visual art individuals, graphic design individuals and so and so people who are into the art world to read, since answers are hidden in the book. Special thanks to Beatriz M. Robles, for an amazing book. :angelic-cyan:

I think this book should be on the shelf of everyone who identifies as poetry and art enthusiasts, fans of contemporary poetic expression, and those who appreciate introspective and evocative writing. It offers an opportunity to immerse oneself in the artistry of words and discover new perspectives through the lens of art.

Anyone who appreciates art in any form should read this book, in my opinion, because it is full of incredible creativity, beauty, and profound meaning.
When I first learned about this book, I immediately thought of a friend of mine who enjoys art exhibits and paintings; she thought it was amazing.

I would recommend the book Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles to anyone who loves art and literature, and who wants to see how they can be combined in creative and imaginative ways. The book is a collection of colorful literary artworks that consist of calligrams, photographs, and redactive poetry. They are different forms of writing that can be both read and appreciated visually. The book is also a reflection of the author’s artistic and literary journey, and how she expresses herself through words and images. The book is a unique and original work that showcases the power and beauty of art and words.
