Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself is an illustrated edition of Walt Whitman’s poem “Song of Myself.” “The entire 256-page book was drawn by hand, including the text. The 1855 edition of ‘Song of Myself’ was used because it’s considered the most wild and radical version. The text flows freely throughout the book, inviting multiple paths through the poem in a format that can easily be turned in the reader's lap. The poem was illustrated in chronological order to document the illustrator’s fourteen-month journey through the verse.”
