By Peter Nicholas Liptak, Lynn Tsan (Illustrator)

In Letters, the art and poetry of the English alphabet comes alive through rhythm and rhyme in philosophically charged verse.

Much can be learned about a people by the language they use, but what can be said of the letters of that language? This playful treatise on the English alphabet explores the art and philosophy of some letters as they gained form in one artist's eye and expression in the language of a wondering wordsmith.

Any lover of language, the graphic arts or verse will revel in the artwork and lyrical poetry. Letters is great for children and adults alike, personifying each letter of the alphabet with philosophical poems and modern artwork—each poem giving life to a letter through a different theme.

As a visual and literary work of art, Letters is a fabulous coffee table conversation piece. Perfect for a quick pick up: just flip to a random page and discover something special anytime.
