Book Synopsis

This latest work of veteran poet Marian Kaplun Shapiro is titled Upbringing because it confronts and explores issues surrounding being a child and growing up. Many poems present a moment in time through the eyes of a child, showing the innocence and confusion of children maneuvering in an adult world. What is most unique is the presentation of ideas through a preponderance of visuals intermixed with words to create a new era of visual poetry. Sometimes the images carry the message; sometimes speech bubbles talk to each other. The combination creates poetic illustration with a lasting impact.
