Here is Imagine a World, an enchanting celebration of the poetry and art of Rob Gonsalves. This collection of words and pictures outlines a vibrant world that bridges the real, the surreal, the unreal, and the hyperreal. Seasons blend into one another, stars and planets align, and knowledge moves from the abstract to the concrete. Gonsalves’s lyrical phrases (“silent echoes/of towers in the sun”, “dive into a salty sky,/soar over submerged lands/into a secret garden of the sea”, “wander weightless on the Earth/and dream beyond the sky”) evoke bright, soaring fantasy images. His magnificent acrylic paintings depict deep, universal truths brought to life in dazzling color. #imagine #world #imagination #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #classicchildrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
