Summary:A graphic novel that aims to explore the narrative possibilities of the medium by deviating from the standard story-telling structure. The story is about a girl who discovers spoken word poetry and realizes her potential in creating her own. As the title Kalopsia suggests, she views each poem in a different, symbolic light a way of perception that turns mundane words into an experience.
