Poetry Comics: an animated anthology features poetry from historical bards, such as Shakespeare and Thomas Wyatt, to more modern poets, such as Langston Hughes and Allen Ginsberg. The book illustrates both time-honored classics and era-defining poetry in William Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Adonais,” and Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.” Poetry Comics begins with a preface explaining Morice’s idea for a book of poetry comics and ends with an appendix on how a reader might make favorite poetry into comic form as well.

I enjoyed Poetry Comics because it gave me the chance to read many of my favorite poems in new ways using thoughtful and creative forms of expression. Each comic’s style is tailored individually to each poem, and Morice is deliberate in creating a specific mood, interpretation, or theme for each one, which he draws from the poems themselves. The comic’s individual style stems from careful reading of the poem and a developed perspective; his illustrated versions bring each work to life and give the reader a new lens to view classic works of literary merit. The variety of the poems in Morice’s anthology is enough to include a wide range of audiences and his artistic styles are varied enough to attract many different readers as well.

I didn't find this book entertaining or appealing to read, but the illustrations were really pretty.
