About The Book

WITH WALT WHITMAN, HIMSELF immerses the reader in the life and times of the poet called “America’s bard,” with over 300 period images and text including extensive quotes by Walt Whitman and his family and friends (and a few enemies). Explore the fascinating roots of Whitman’s great work Leaves of Grass: 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. The coming year 2019 will mark the bicentennial of Walt Whitman’s birth; this book anticipates the celebration with a perspective of Walt Whitman “in the nineteenth century, in America,” as he himself put it.

Praise for With Walt Whitman, Himself

“A beautiful book of windows onto the life of Walt Whitman. From the clear ringing prose to the fascinating photographs and colored illustrations of the great poet’s life we find the man anew — standing in his time and looking straight at us… . [Huets] has made a book of marvels and I can’t put it down.” — Steve Scafidi, author of To the Bramble and the Briar, recipient of prizes including Miller Williams Prize and Library of Virginia Literary Award for Poetry

“Jean Huets’ With Walt Whitman, Himself is a true Whitmanian feast — for the intellect as well as for the eyes. It is hard to put this remarkable book down once you’ve opened its riches — illustrations of Whitman’s various 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, Co-Director of Walt Whitman Archive
