Nine Old Bones: Walt Whitman's Blue Book
“A glimpse into the workshop“ is how Walt Whitman described his “blue book,“ the author’s own intimate copy of LEAVES OF GRASS,with his many notes, revisions, and comments on his master work. Now reproduced for the first time (in a facsimile edition), the BLUE BOOKaffords Mr. Kaplan, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning MR. CLEMENS AND MARK TWAIN,an opportunity for a revealing reassessment of Whitman the man. Mr. Kaplan is at present working on a biography of Lincoln Steffens.
