Whitman himself made such comparisons, going so far as to use biblical verse as a model for his own. So it's only appropriate that artist and illustrator Allen Crawford has chosen to illuminate--like medieval monks with their own holy scriptures--Whitman's masterpiece and the core of his poetic vision, \"Song of Myself.\" Crawford has turned the original sixty-page poem from Whitman's 1855 edition into a sprawling 234-page work of art. The handwritten text and illustrations intermingle in a way that's both surprising and wholly in tune with the spirit of the poem--they're exuberant, rough, and wild. Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself is a sensational reading experience, an artifact in its own right, and a masterful tribute to the Good Gray Poet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Whitman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935639781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935639787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445906944255,"sku":"9781935639787","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f2d87ea-818b-442a-8e01-8b78e636d3ff.jpg?v=1777221416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whitman-illuminated-walt-whitman-9781935639787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
