I’m particularly interested in the calligram concept, having never come across it even in art class. I also see that this book is not limited to that but rather combines are and words – just like the title promises – in other ways. How intriguing.

I love words and wordplay, and combining words with art gives a wonderful effect. Not just a book to read and give to the next person, but one to keep having around and look at it over and over again. I can already picture the relationship between the woman and the comb thanks to the well-written review.

This poetry book introduces calligram, a technique used to arrange words to form an image. This book focuses on the “intimate lives of couples”. I’m not into a relationship, so I doubt if the book is for me. Nonetheless, I’m interested to sample the book and see what it’s about. Congrats on botd!

That is a great book cover. I'm not usually interested in these kinds of book. But I can see its appeal to many people.

Wow! I've always loved to read books containing words that figuratively paint pictures, but who knew that there was actually a book that did this literally! Two elements I love so much being infused into one is quite an achievement, and I'm super excited to lay my eyes on the work. Thanks for sharing this powerful review.

Now this sounds like a unique book to read. Not only will the words inspire but the creative use of objects with the words will be like something out of this world.
