Poetry is an Ancient Form of Storytelling

Meet Chris Durenberger, screenwriter, artist, illustrator and author. Also Laurel Durenberger‘s son!

Chris Durenberger has recently published Bubo. Bubo is a story that Chris has worked on telling for nearly a decade. The artistic medium found itself in poetry and illustration.

BUBO is an illustrated poem narrated by Plague itself. At nearly one hundred stanzas, the poem’s rhyme scheme allows the reader’s focus to stay on the narrative while never losing a steady rhythm that begs to be read out loud. Fleshed out by eighteen watercolor illustrations that capture the colorful yet dark atmosphere of the world, this illustrated novel is for fans of the grim elements found in classic fairytales.
