Artwords by Beatriz M. Robles is a captivating fusion of art and language. Robles' use of calligrams and her unique blend of everyday objects with sensual words create thought-provoking imagery. The book is exceptionally edited and easy to understand, making it accessible to a wide audience. It's a delightful exploration of sensuality and creativity through words and art.

I had to look up calligrams to get a true understanding of what they are. And my, how beautiful. I do enjoy poetry very much and I can see how this would elevate the experience. Lovely review of a unique book. Would love to read it!

Congratulations to the reviewer to get the featured review. Congratulations to the author for getting BOTD. Art is beautiful and it is a relief from everyday life. A time period when art is appreciated, it is a period when peace has been established and not much fighting is going on in that place. Art is beautiful and makes this world a better and a more beautiful place to live in. I am happy and extremely excited about the author and the book.

The title as well as the cover grab attention immediately. The author did an amazing job of combining words with pictures to create a metaphor-rich narrative that ignites one's imagination. Congrats on BOTD!
The review is equally detailed and insightful, inspiring the readers to dive into this beautiful book.

Great review! I will say right off the back that the cover already had me drawn in, so I can only imagine how the visuals inside look. I’ve read my share of poetry books, but I tend to lean towards those that mix things up and do something interesting, such as this. Congrats on BOTD!

A poetry book that combines artwork with sensual aspects of everyday life. I'm actually curious to see the result of words and photos and how they produce deep messages.

I'm fascinated by the use of calligram in this book. I have never heard of or read a book that centered around or used calligram to express deeper emotions, so I would definitely be adding this to my TBR, even if poetry is not my thing.

I loved how Calligram works to form spectacular images. For Robles, it was ordinary, everyday objects. The book came to life, unlike any poetry I've read. Thank you for writing an insightful and captivating review, Gabrielle!

The previous time this review popped up, I found it quite interesting and wanted to check out the sample on Amazon. But alas, the same issue occurred as with the last time. Other than the chapter headings, there was nothing to check out in the sample. I may purchase a copy, but we shall see.
