Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself

A presentation and book signing of Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself, illustrated by Allen Crawford.

Walt Whitman’s iconic Leaves of Grass has earned a reputation as a sacred American text, so it’s fitting that artist and illustrator Allen Crawford has illuminated- like the holy scriptures of medieval monks- the core of Whitman’s masterpiece, “Song of Myself.” Crawford’s handwritten text and illustrations intermingle in a way that’s both surprising and wholly in tune with the spirit of the poem- exuberant, rough, and wild. Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myselfis a sensational reading experience, an artifact in its own right, and a masterful tribute to the Good Gray Poet.
