This is a discussion topic for the November 2023 Book of the Month, Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles

What did you like most about this book?

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.

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".

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

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

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.

The cover is catchy and creative.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
