Myers has reimagined the classic nonsensical poem as a face off on the basketball court between the dark, shadowy Jabberwocky and a kid with vorpal blade shoes. The ominous swirl of black inks amidst the bright colors of the background turn the whimsical poem on its ear. Suddenly the light, funny, even bucolic poem is revealed to be dynamic, fraught with tension, and explosive.
