Voices in Poetry series.
Illustrated by
Rob Day.
In these revised editions, excerpts from each poet's work alternate with biographical passages describing major influences or periods in the artist's life. The arty design calls attention to itself; every page is decorated with a photograph (in Shakespeare's case, a drawing) or a themed illustration: flowers for Dickinson, historical postal stamps for Hughes, leaves for Whitman, etc. The tiny type may put off some readers. Ind. Review covers these Voices in Poetry titles:
E. E. Cummings,
Emily Dickinson,
Langston Hughes,
William Shakespeare,
Edgar Allan Poe, and
Walt Whitman.
