Using calligram in books is quite creative. What's a good book without creativity and a good laugh. Good to know there's simplicity in conveying the message to readers. The review makes one wanna read. Nice!

I have never read a book like this where the author uses words to make shapes. It will be an amazing experience reading Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This intriguing poetry book showcases calligrams, wordplay, and the author's ingenuity, with words creating images, sensual metaphors, and imaginative narratives. Thanks for the review.

I really would like to thank the reviewer because I was disappointed with the sample book. There is nothing to read in the sample. However, the sample did excite me with the first drawing and the realization that it is a deep work in literature. I was expecting poems and paintings or drawings. The author is definitely an artist. The review confirmed it. It is poetry. "Sensual with metaphors on sex and humorous!" No comment in the meantime. The work shows the creativity of the author and the reader will be surprized. That would be nice! Easy to understand and employs calligram! Let us see!

Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles is a unique book with artworks, and different stories about the pictures created. It has combined objects, like sponges and scissors with stories that convey different meanings. The pictures with words like a comb which appeared like a woman was talking to her comb and certain intimate moments that had a creation of words and pictures to form short narrative stories were very interesting.

The book is very interesting and makes you want to read more about the calligraphy since it's a unique style to some of the readers, it was well written and can't look forward to reading more.

I had the opportunity to read and experience this book of poetry and it left me in amazement. Calligrams are my personal best because of aesthetically it is pleasing to the eye. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

I truly admire the concept behind this writer/artist Beatriz M. Robles style. Turning writing into art. I myself used to write and draw and the idea had crossed my mind a time or two. And she put it to light and I honestly believe that I would appreciate reading the book in whole. Which I am going to do.

“Artwords” by Beatriz M. Robles is a special poetry book that brings several artworks from Robles. The author used interesting wordplay and a technique called calligram which arranges words to form pictures. She also used everyday objects with stories that give the text several meanings. Readers that enjoy poetry will love the tales that confuse readers or make them laugh. One part of the book was a combination of photographs that mixed literature with everyday objects because they tied to people’s daily lives. One example was a woman talking to her comb about how the comb makes her feel pretty. This is a book for adults who are interested in the intimate lives of couples. Very good review.

Even though this concept sounds highly interesting, I haven't been able to take much interest in poetry and prose. I hope this book finds the right audience and is appreciated by them. Congrats on the BOTD!

Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles sounds like a beautiful blend of poetry and art. This concept is very unique and grabbed my attention. The official OBC review and the lack of artwork in the sample pages made me so curious that I bought the book. I am excited to read and appreciate the art. I have added it to my "To read" list. Congratulations on the BOTD!

This sounds like such an interesting and unique book. I don't think I've read something related to calligram before. You've written such exceptional review. The part where you mentioned 'photographs that mixed literature with ordinary object' definitely gives this book a more realistic and relatable approach.

The sentence "where she uses a technique which involves arranging words to from shapes and pictures" really caught my attention in this book. It seems like a great read. I'll try the book; I appreciate your review.

Undoubtedly, this is a novel form of art for me, and I find it really intriguing as it's like getting a peek inside the author's head and viewing the world from a different perspective.
Great review is very detailed and definitely made me courious about this story.
