Good morning everyone! How are you all doing this morning? I hope all of you are having a good morning. I have my coffee ready and I'm excited to write this review so lets do this!
Title: Illuminated Poems
Author: Allen Ginsberg
Artist: Eric Drooker
Genre: Poetry
Pages: 144
Rating: 3 stars
Synopsis: Illuminated Poems is the collaboration between two visionaries from different generations: Beat poet Allen Ginsberg and Eric Drooker , an artist of the metropolis whose images reflect life at the turn of the millennium. Illuminated Poems contains two previously unpublished works, an introduction by Allen Ginsberg and 34 poems written between 1948 - 1996 including Howl in it's entirety .
My thoughts on the book: I thought this book was just ok over all. I just don't think some of the poems picked for this were some of Ginsberg's best writings. Howl was good, it always is, and I liked Capital Air but, a lot of the others just fall flat. Most of the other poems aren't that memorable.
I did like the artwork in this book . Mr. Drooker did a really good job . Some of his images are really very interesting. I added a star to the rating because of them !
This was a very quick read! There were a few good poems in here but most of them fell flat like I said . I did like some of the artwork though so I'm giving the book 3 stars!
That's it for this reading update ! If you have read this book please leave your thoughts in the comments. Also, if you like my content please give my blog a follow. I finished reading Blue Exorcist by Kazue Kato last night so a review for it will most likely be posted tomorrow. I'm going to start reading Silence of The Lambs soon so a review for that will be up shortly too. That's it for now I hope you all have a good day! I will talk to you all later !
