Whitmans Men
107: Universe Publishing, 1996. Hardcover. Text in English. 80 pp. Yellowed dust jacket and page edges.
This unprecedented volume of Walt Whitman's "Calamus" poems unites the works of seven contemporary young photographers with Whitman's poems, creating an engaging conversation that echoes the desires and ambitions of American men. This version of "Calamus" taken from the 1860 edition of Leaves of Grass, shows us the poems at their purest and most spontaneous–an expression of man's desire for his fellow man. Themes that are integral to the "Calamus" poems–the search for self-awareness, for love and companionship; loneliness; and death–are reflected in the photographs, which evoke the timelessness of Whitmans writings and add an extra dimension of life to his ageless lines. Very Good / Very Good. Item #4220
