💛 AROUND THE WEB 💛
⚜️ Sno-Isle libraries created a staff-curated list, Inspiration from Nature, collecting together 11 books that fit the theme. Included in the list is an anthology I’m proud to have edited (featuring great poems from so many awesome poets) Earth Songs: A Nature Poems Experience.
The tagline of their list: What is art? Nature concentrated. - Honoré de Balzac
⚜️ Sharrukin’s Palace reviewed The Shivering Ground & Other Stories: “Very highly recommended if you enjoy evocative science-fiction stories in a distinctive style.”
⚜️ Germantown Community Library listed The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Graphic Novel in a 10-book list of some of their most popular adult graphic novels (in very good company!) ⚜︎ It’s a long page, so scroll down to the heading: Some of Our Most Popular Adult Graphic Novels
⚜️ Rowan College at Burlington County Library is using the original Yellow Wallpaper short story, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in its English 102 class. After you scroll past the course textbooks, The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Graphic Novel is in a list of suggested books from their catalogue :)
⚜️ Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein reviewed The Colour Out of Space: a graphic novel: “What [Barkat] has is a loose, sketchy but heavily detailed pencil that captures a certain underground aesthetic, the rawness of the art adding a certain texture to the text, especially with the use of mixed media (primarily watercolors) to add color […] the result is a more profound experience than either the art or the text would accomplish on their own.”
