Published to mark the celebration of National Poetry Month in April, Poems to See By: A Comic Artist Interprets Great Poetry by Julian Peters offers a series of delightful, often moving, visual recreations of classic poems using a variety of comics drawing and painterly visual styles. Among the poets whose works are recreated in this book are Maya Angelou, W.H. Auden, Tess Gallagher, Langston Hughes, Carl Sandburg, W.B. Yeats, and others. In this 10-page excerpt Peters offers a five-page black and white version of Seamus Heaney’s The Given Note, and a five-page full-color version of Dylan Thomas’s The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower. The book will be published by Plough Publishing House.
