(3) YA Visions in Poetry series. Illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. In this book of seven Dickinson poems, the pictures say as much as the words. Arsenault illustrates lines of loneliness, death, and heartache with dreamlike mixed-media art. The haunting images of a pale and fragile-looking Dickinson reflect a dark yet imaginative interpretation of the reclusive poet's works.

(3) YA Visions in Poetry series. Illustrated by Ryan Price. The tortured mind of the grieving narrator in Poe's hypnotic poem is brought to life with a nearly equal measure of nightmarish and illustrative imagery. Rendered in dry point, the art's varying shades of black underscore the menacing tone of the verse. This sophisticated interpretation will surely attract older readers who are fans of the gothic.

(4) YA Visions in Poetry series. Illustrated by Murray Kimber. The romantic anti-hero in Noyes's rhythmic, haunting ballad of doomed love is re-fashioned as a sleek, motorcycle-riding gangster in this modern version of the poem, which the artist sets in art deco-era New York City. Rendered in sepia, gray, and black, the dramatic illustrations create a film noir atmosphere, but ultimately the geometric images feel mismatched to the text.

(4) YA Visions in Poetry series. Illustrated by Stephane Jorisch. A sense of foreboding pervades this sophisticated interpretation of Carroll's classic nonsense poem. Washed with muted color, the scratchy illustrations reveal a dreamlike world with TVs and cameras present everywhere. The unsettling images seem to be commenting on politics, consumerism, war, the media, and more, and the book seems best suited to YA and adult audiences.
