Ashley Bryan’s love of poetry is intertwined with his love of art, as can be seen throughout his work. Here he uses the alphabet “to introduce a world of poetry and art to all children.” The illustrations give the passages Bryan has chosen a visual element that complement the aural. A handful of important African American women poets—Maya Angelou, Mari Evans, Eloise Greenfield, Audre Lord, and Margaret Walker—are shown in this exhibition.
