It is an interesting form of poetry. The review was great. I wish the "sample" would have actually included some of her work.

I loved your description of this book. It makes it sound extremely interesting- visual and intellectually provoking, like an adult picture book. :D

I’ve worked with/read calligrams before, but I was introduced to it as shape poetry. It can be fascinating, if done well and used for the proper subjects. There is a fine line, though, between it coming across artistic and it coming across as silly or unnecessary. Hopefully, the poet here uses the technique prudently enough that the poems fall under the former category. Thank you for the helpful review.

Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles is a collection of poetry where words are used to portray imagery or create different meanings. In this form of art, the author uses a technique called calligram to arrange words to form shapes and pictures.

I've never heard of a poetry novel that has a unique feature like a calligram that is an art in a form of words. I believe this book will touch the poetic side of every reader. Thanks for your wonderful review.

The author's presentation of intimate married life through poetry and artworks is interesting and informative. But this is not my kind of book. Hence, I am going to pass this. Thanks for the review!

The Art of poetry doesn’t only melt a mouth but it embraces its originality and nevertheless Beatriz M.Robles made it full clear , her ability to combine art and words to form a original kind of art literature baffles me especially the work of different kinds of objects to give the novel a good kick start-
The work of good calligraphies this was a good one

A poetry book that is full of artwork sounds very interesting. I have never heard of calligrams before so I am intrigued. Thank you for the review.

Robles makes use of wordplay, imagery and everyday objects to construct nice prose. Across-the-board it is a good literature and makes for a good read

The author is certainly very creative! I would love to try to find out all the various ways the poems could be read – utilising ordinary objects is also one thing that I like. Thanks for the review.

I'm new to poetry but I enjoy reading about random and creative stuff like this. I can't wait to read the sample to see those images. I like how the author's thoughts are conveyed in a sensual and subtle way. Congratulations on the BOTD.
