Poetry Comics Month, Day 2: Three-dimensional #poetrycomicsmonth
Striking Out I’ll be posting new poetry comics throughout April for National Poetry Month. Hoping a few of them connect!
I drew this comic at the dawn of 2010. Here's how the somewhat autobiographical resolutions in the first panel turned out: I've failed miserably at getting organized. I still floss every night, as any non-hypocritical dental student should. I've written poetry, but it's been mostly goofy light verse. I've enjoyed ethnic food, smiled, practiced yoga, worked out, and volunteered, but only sporadically. I've enjoyed literary fiction (as pretentious as that sounds), especially the novels of Haruki Murakami. I can't bike to work - I'm not employed. And finally, I never actually quote bad movies - I only quote great movies that other people think are bad. My resolution for 2011: to keep going back and coloring old comics so I can repost them on my blog and make them available as posters.

Here are some of my favorite spreads from my new picture book, WHAT COLOR IS NIGHT? It's available for purchase internationally wherever you get your books. Kudos to my editor at Chronicle Books, Ariel Richardson, for helping me land the ending with the "colors unseen" line! It's been so much fun to visit schools and share this story, and I've read it so many times to my own kids that my three-year-old has it memorized. I'm looking forward to the publication of the follow-up book WHAT SOUND IS MORNING? this Spring!
