Poetry for Young People: Walt Whitman edited by Jonathan Levin, illustrated by Jim Burke
Sit back and travel the universe. From the depths of the sea to the far reaches of the cosmos, from the songs of America's workers to the plight of America's slaves, from a thrilling old-time sea fight to a Civil War artilleryman's vision you're about to embark on an experience you'll never forget!
Live the excitement of traveling the open road in I Tramp a Perpetual Journey.
Go on a deep sea adventure to The World Below the Brine.
Take a moonlit walk On the Beach at Night.
Feel a train come to life in To a Locomotive in Winter. More than twenty-five of Walt Whitman's best-loved poems, including O Captain! My Captain!, I Hear America Singing, and many selections from Leaves of Grass, have been collected and stunningly illustrated in this inviting gateway to the work of one of America's greatest poets.
We have the other books in this series available in our Poetry Books section.
