Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up?These lavishly designed and illustrated books combine poetry, archival photographs, and illustrations on smooth, satiny stock with well-written, interesting biographical sketches. The information is enhanced by the way the text is harmoniously juxtaposed with beautiful, sepia-toned photos and drawings of people and places from the poets' lives. Cummings is also illustrated by assemblage figures with Paul Klee-like faces and anxious, quizzical expressions that are in tune with Cummings's words. The illustrations for Dickinson are large, rather static pastel drawings of flowers and plants. The poetry, on the other hand, some of which is very difficult, correlates nicely with the factual details; for example, "I'm Nobody!" appears opposite a description of Dickinson's reclusiveness in her mid-30s. Because of the complexity of many of the poems in both volumes, these titles would be appropriate as introductions to their subjects for high school students.?Sue Norris, Rye Free Reading Room,
