So, I was actually thinking that as I was going through the book. I thought about some very famous artists who have journals that went on to obviously be priceless. But they were also quite personal. I felt like this was a way to get the author's art recognised - which is different from being personal. So I think that anyone could probably appreciate it.Dael Reader wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 21:16 This is a nice, solid review. I wonder, do you think a book like this has a wide appeal, or is it something that is likely to be appreciated only by the artists friends and family--people who already know her?
Thank you for your comments!

I understand what you mean about poetry having a deeper meaning. As a form of artistic expression, poetry can be written as a collection of abstract thoughts and ideas. Most of the time, I am able to interpret the underlying theme or message, but sometimes it escapes me too. The artwork does look interesting.kandscreeley wrote: ↑05 Nov 2018, 09:47 That's my problem with poetry; it often goes over my head. There's some deeper meaning that I'm supposed to find that just passes over me completely. However, I'm tempted to look at this one simply for the artwork. The sketches intrigue me. Thanks!
