Description
by Jean Huets (Author), Walt Whitman (Biographee)
With Walt Whitman, Himself immerses you in the life and times of the poet called "America's bard," with over 300 period images and text that includes extensive quotes by Walt Whitman and his family and friends (and enemies). Explore the fascinating roots of his great work: a family harrowed by alcoholism and mental illness; the bloody Civil War; burgeoning, brawling Manhattan and Brooklyn; literary allies and rivals; and his beloved America, racked by disunion even while racing westward.
"A true Whitmanian feast--for the intellect as well as for the eyes.... Illustrations of Whitman's places, friends, family, disciples, contemporaries--his cities and his rural retreats. The descriptions of his life and times are concise and smart. The book keeps opening up to new facets of Whitman, his work, and his era." -- Ed Folsom, editor of Walt Whitman Quarterly Review and Co-Director of The Walt Whitman Archive
"With Walt Whitman, Himself is perfectly titled for to read of him so closely is to feel his eyes upon you, to sense his company as real as your own. Jean Huets has made a book of marvels and I can't put it down." -- Steve Scafidi, recipient of Miller Williams Prize and Library of Virginia Literary Award for Poetry
