(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kris Di Giacomo. This lyrical biography emphasizes the poet's formative years and keen observation of the world around him. Clever design choices, homey mixed-media art, and well-chosen quotes and sample poems offer a compelling representation of cummings's experimentation with language, imagery, and style. However, the flat presentation of connective details creates neither narrative momentum nor adequate report material, and biographical sourcing is vague. Author's note. Timeline.
Reviewer: Claire E. Gross
