Singer, M. (2010) Mirror, Mirror. NY: Dutton
This book contains poems depicting fairy tales characters in which two different points of view can be seen. It is amazing how the reverso of each poem can change the mood and meaning completely. The book also offers beautiful and brilliant illustrations. In the words of my 11 year old daughter,"this book was exploding my brain, if that makes any sense."
Textbook Assignment 1:
Style:
The
element of style reveals itself in both the language of the author and the
artistry of the illustrator in the world of picture books.
“Mirror,
Mirror” by Marilyn Singer exhibits a very unique style of poetry. This was my
first experience with reversos and now I can’t stop thinking about it.
The way reversing the poem changes the point of view and meaning of the
previous poem was phenomenal.
