What did you like most about this book?

[Timothy Rucinski]

Believe it or not, what I liked most were the pages of original novels from Candace Bushnell, Judy Blume, and the others. I had never read any of their works and I found the texts behind the redactice poems more interesting and stimulating than the poems themselves. Although I did like the redactive poetry many times more than the calligrams, I may have to check out some of the novels from these other authors.

[Achor Chinemerem]

The book is well-crafted, and I like every piece of the poem. The poems portray the title of the book. They are true "Artwords".

[Celestine Apiche]

The book sounds original. The organization of the poems are excellent.

[Abbdul Razak]

From the book cover alone tells the entire book story. I love every aspects of the book.

[Sarah Zain]

I loved the cover of the book and the calligrams Transforming the poem into a visual form that connects you with it increases the pleasure of reading, as it is a type I have never seen before.

[Abbdul Razak]

The cover is catchy and creative.

[Jessica Uchechi Azuka]

The words used in the poems were amazing and would be engraved in readers' hearts. I also love and enjoyed the pictures in the book. Art is beautiful.

[Chidinma Dijeh]

The depth of insight into the art world and the clarity of the writing are what I like most about this book.

[Rocky Ellery James Tumbelaka]

This book was certainly unique. The art parts definitely what I liked the most. It was pleasing to the eye, even for someone without artistic talent like me.

[Indigenous Kin]

I like the themes and variety of topics it covers in poem factors. And that's an important aspect.

[Sav Sparkman]

I really enjoyed the incorporation of visual imagery within the poem structures. It made for a very visually interesting piece and it was fun to see different styles of art coming together. Another element I enjoyed were the double meaning poems! They were the most creative ones, in my opinion.
