A 2025 Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry Honor Book“A poetry-filled graphic novel that is powerful in its simplicity.” -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Personal but personable, too, with glints of quiet humor.” -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review“Poetry Comics is . . . a sensorial experience that taps into what it means to be human and leaves you inspired to explore, discover, create, and connect.” —Aron Nels Steinke, Eisner Award-winning cartoonistFrom the cloud-gazing hours of early spring to the lost bicycles of late autumn, Grant Snider’s brilliantly illustrated Poetry Comics will take you climbing, floating, swimming, and tumbling through all the year’s ups, downs, and in-betweens. He proves that absolutely everything, momentous or minuscule, is worthy of attention, whether snail shells, building blocks, the lamented late bus, or the rare joy of unscuffed shoes. These poems explore everything you never thought to write a poem about, and they’re so fun to read you’ll want to write one yourself. Not to worry, in this wonderful paperback edition there’s a poem for that, too!
