An Illustrated Anthology of Love Poetry

Art & Love

Jayarna La Bozzetta

This was a great intro into classic poetry and art, both of which I'm new too. I didn't love the sections however, they were grouped by "themes" which makes sense for searching but it doesn't make for the best reading experience because it was so jarring to read poems that don't necessarily flow on from one another. I also don't think there was too much thought put into where the art was placed, at least I couldn't tell, and sometimes I was just confused at some pairings. I am not an expert however for me both art and poetry is about the feelings it invokes, so I would like to see things intentionally placed near items that had similar atmospheres and tones. I think it would highten the experience from just a gift shop impulse buy or a coffee table book to something that a lot of people could enjoy with differing levels of experience with these two artforms
