For many people, "epic poem" means epic story told in verse; think "The Odyssey." But Linnea Axelsson's epic poem "Ædnan: An Epic" is a real world story with political and social ramifications, as I learned when we did this exclusive interview.

Just arrived, Weinersmith and Boulet's delightful retelling of #Beowulf, the gorgeous middle-grade #graphicNovel #BeaWolf. This book is somewhat difficult to get in the UK at the moment. But I was lucky to find Forbidden Planet (.com) had copies. Will be reading it soon, after I've finished my current graphic novel. #ComicBooks #OldEnglish #EpicPoems #ClassicLiterature #ChildrensBooks #comics #GraphicNovels
