The work is truly iconic. I absolutely love reading / deciphering / admiring the poems as interpreted through Allen Crawford's inspired lettering and illustrations. It's the sort of book you can get lost in for an hour, or just pick up for a few minutes. I'm very happy to own this edition, and hope Mr. Crawford takes on other great works with his unique style. Review: Pause, Ponder, Appreciate - I firmly believe that the publishing world must always adapt, evolve, and break new ground. This book does just that. Yes, it is Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself, unaltered and unabridged. However, Allen Crawford blended art and text to create something entirely new, all while still honoring the original poem. Each page progresses the poem and integrates it with art. At times, the text is virtually unreadable because it twists and turns, but it always serves a purpose, it always works in tandem with the illustration. This book is like a riddle in that you must reposition it in order to read every page, you must study the illustration on each page to decipher its relevance to the text; in short, you must pause and ponder. That’s not a bad thing. If you only want a copy of Song of Myself, this book probably isn’t for you. Like I said, it is at times virtually unreadable. Rest assured you can find thousands of versions of the original poem in bookstores, online, or in any English textbook beginning at the seventh grade level. But, if you appreciate Song of Myself and want to see it in a new light, this book will delight. If you desire to see something a little different from the publishing industry, this is a superb example. If you love art, text, and any combination of the two, this book is for you. Or maybe you just want to see an item that exemplifies blood, sweat, and tears, and you want to reward the creator’s hard work by saying, “You did something unique, honorable, and interesting. I want to support your efforts by purchasing the book.” Whatever the case may be, if you fall into any of the previous categories, I truly think you’ll enjoy this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #188,608 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #91 in Individual Artists' Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 128 Reviews | ## Images ![Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ka2kphacL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful edition of a classic *by C***M on May 19, 2014* I had not knowingly read this poem in decades... but as I pored over the pages, I found many sections familiar.

You don't even have to be familiar with the poem, or look at the drawings in order, to get what the text is about. A bit of text here and there, taken in alongside the drawings and you feel the power of what Whitman was talking about. I loved Crawford's Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy phase, and I love this. Reading Daniel Pinkwater's Young Adult Novel (and forming a chapter of Dada Ducks in my own school) helped me get through high school. I sense the same sort of tongue in cheek "serious" fun in the things Crawford chooses to do and find myself wishing I could find the time in my "adult" life to form another salon of morons. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1273736-whitman-illuminated-song-of-myself](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1273736-whitman-illuminated-song-of-myself) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
