Review

One more to add."This ambitious anthology offeminist comics poetry aims high, and soars." -- PUBLISHERSWEEKLY"There were some entries that I didn't feel aconnection to. Maybe it was the approach or maybe the topic is something I can'trelate to due to my own experience and background, but that may be the bestthing about this anthology. That's what makes it inclusive and necessary. Thereis a story in there for everyone and an art style to suit different tastes,moods, and aesthetics. If you are looking for representation, it is in here. Weare currently in a period of history where so much is changing but resistanceagainst acceptance is still present. Works such as this, however, are a step inthe right direction." - THE BEAT

Review Text

FOREWORD (STARRED) -- Verse and visuals meet, withspectacular results, in the graphic anthology Embodied . Poetry is avisual medium, not just an oral one: the placements of words and blank spacesare often intended to appeal to the eye, and they affect the interpretation andenjoyment of a poem. This book makes full use of the opportunities for color andpage design that are inherent to comic books-here, used to maintain or enhancethe impact of poems. The poems and their graphic interpretations come from alineup of award-winning women, trans, and nonbinary creators. After eachartist's adaptation, the original text-only version of the poem is included,allowing for interesting comparisons. Some adaptations preserve the originalappearance of the text, while others take a different tack, splitting orcombining lines for a particular effect. The art is attractive and imaginative.In "Bassam," a metaphor is depicted as something more than just a figurativetruth: "Each morning my heart is / a vulture beating its wings for scraps," itsays. The words are accompanied by images of a scavenger alighting on ashoulder. Images from the poems are given form and shape, sometimes with daring,unexpected approaches, and always in ways that are complementary. The variationamong the art and writing styles keeps every segment fresh and exciting. A studyguide forwards two stimulating questions about each poem, regarding theirsubjects, techniques, and interpretations-enough discussion material to fill auniversity-level course. Also included are rough sketches from the variousadaptations-a fascinating glimpse into artisticprocesses. This book bridges the gap betweencomics and poetry, combining the best of both worlds. With a portion of theproceeds benefiting the International Women's Health Coalition, Embodied is a wonderful book that's well worth engaging.
