The poems were intensely private reflections on his attraction and affection for other men. They were also Whitman's most adventurous explorations of the theme of same-sex love, composed decades before the word \"homosexual\" came into use. This revolutionary, extraordinarily beautiful and passionate cluster of poems was never published by Whitman and has remained unknown to the general public--until now. \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling and Caldecott Award-winning illustrator Brian Selznick offers a provocative visual narrative of \u003ci\u003eLive Oak, with Moss\u003c\/i\u003e, and Whitman scholar Karen Karbiener reconstructs the story of the poetic cluster's creation and destruction. Walt Whitman's reassembled, reinterpreted \u003ci\u003eLive Oak, with Moss\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a source of inspiration and a cause for celebration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Whitman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419748157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419748158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Comicarts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993732448511,"sku":"9781419748158","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcee3160-dd66-4249-9963-5e88d3ce13cf.jpg?v=1683325993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/live-oak-with-moss-walt-whitman-9781419748158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
