Symbols & Onomatopoeia
Symbols & Onomatopoeia
"Shouldn't all dictionaries start with AAAA and end with ZZZZZZZTZZZTZZZ? Ka-BOOM! does: it's a collection
of sound effects from comic books, each one rigorously defined and cross referenced. Nowhere has the art
of onomatopoeia been raised to higher heights than in the humble comic book." LEV GROSSMAN
TIME Digital VOL. 5 NO 5
Developed as a tool to teach students and keep their attention, KA-BOOM! has also been used as reference
material in university linguistics courses as well as in books: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cartooning and
Jazz Up Your Japanese With Onomatopoeia. Its companion work, BZZURKK! was created to help comic
book artists with sound effects (fx).

Readers' comment on Kevin Taylor's poetry...
- Please accept my gratitude for your words. Does wonders for my spirit, as well as my envy, to
imagine a man somewhere, speaking to a woman, with his soul...absolutely beautiful.. - I'll have to add you to my list of favorite contemporary poets, i.e. Pablo Neruda, Mari Evans,
Audry Lourde, and others... - I was a bit overwhelmed today while I explored.. and read.. explored ... and read.. and oh my!!
- That is EXACTLY the kind of poetry I LOVE!!
- As if you gripped my thoughts and twisted them into honest eloquence. Thank you.
- Hurray, huzzahs, applause, noisemakers going.
- My coffee got cold, my feet slowly made there way off the floor and up, and my timer BUZZED
after about three hours. Your poetry is fabulous … - That was the most most beautiful poetry. You took me there. I have been there with you, and
I'm positive others too. I'm a jazz singer and composer...and an artist, like you. Great, just
great. - Last book of poetry I bought was by Zbigniew Herbert, of all people, great 20th century poet,
but I'd run right out and buy yours!
