Calligram sounds so intricate and intriguing.
The pure opulence of this novel can be heard from this beautiful review.
Sounds nothing less than great work of art.

A creatively written book that showcases artwork using calligram techniques and combining them with poetry. this book has a blend of sensual aspects from everyday life. Well, surely enough this isn't for me. Nice review.

Wow, you mean someone can create pictures and shapes using words? I don't think I can believe this until I read the book myself. I'm picking up this book to read right away. Thanks for this eye-opening review.

The subject matter is very interesting so I’m looking forward to digging into this book to learn about calligram as the author explains and amaze with her interesting wordplay and metaphors Robles created. The author is creative!

"Artwords" by Beatriz M. Robles brought a different idea to the fore. Calligram is an amazing technique that only a few people are aware of. Congrats on BOTD. Beautiful review.

The combination of prose, poetry and ordinary objects along with the intelligent use of words in Artwords, seems like a delightful experience. The fact that it's well-edited and approachable makes it even more appealing.

I am SO INTRIGUED by this concept. I'm usually content with digital copies of just about everything (more as a space saver than anything else), but this book does seem like the physical copy would do it more justice.

It's very sensual, isn't it? I'm not a fan of poetry usually, but I Iike the concept of this book. Kidding Around was my favorite; I mean, who doesn't love the sound of coins dropping into a piggy bank? I agree this is a book for adults; the sexual metaphors are too present for younger viewers.
