I enjoyed your review on, Artwords" by Beatriz M. Robles. I never heard of calligram and look forward to learning about it. The ook cover drawing is beautiful so am looking forward to more like it. The description of the author using a "comb" being talked to reminds me of the many times I look at an inanimate object and talk to or about it because something struck me while looking at it. I look forward to reading this interesting book.

This is a very creative book. I'm interested in learning about Calligram. Poetry coupled with words depicting daily life is something I would love to read about. I appreciate the author's ability to generate laughter on an intimate subject such as sex.

A nice poetry book "Artwords" by Beatriz M. Robles, which brings several artworks from the author. Nice thing is that the book has a blend of sensual aspects from everyday lives and creative images. I feel this book is worth reading for me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The cover is very appealing and I'm particularly interested in the caligrams. It sounds very intricate. I'm not greatly into poetry, but the visual side is very appealing to me.

It's the creativity of the author for me. To be able to use words in such a versatile way is really great. I'm not much of a poetry fan, so I may skip this, but this is a great job by the author.

I don't believe this book aligns with my literary preferences, as I'm not particularly captivated by poetry or artistic prose. Nevertheless, I can acknowledge that the book is an incredible artwork, and I'm certain that it will be highly revered by readers who share the author's affinity for this genre of literature.

I love books that are creative and original. I also have always enjoyed poetry. This author seems to be really creative in her work, and combined with the fact that it is poetry I feel like I will enjoy it. I'll definitely keep this book in mind.

Thank you for your great review. I particularly liked your summary of the contents. I like to read poetry - in all its myriad forms that continue to evolve. I would love to "read" the calligrams but will pass on this book because of the sensual poetry. Thank you for your frank review!

This is a unique poetry book in which the author uses a technique called calligram. Calligram involves arranging words to form shapes and pictures.
The author also employs the use of metaphors to convey intimate moments that create a narrative.
Thank you for the enlightening review.

It sounds like a unique book the piqued my interest, but the sample did not share pages past the table of contents. However, the book reviewer enjoyed it and gave high praise to the fusion of art and literature.
