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.","brand":"Tin House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50679928389825,"sku":"9781935639787","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/whitman-illuminated-walt-whitman-9781935639787","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
