Book Description
Excerpt from The Crimson Hand, and Other Poems The Crimson Hand. A Louisville Courier-Journal, during the winter of 1874, took notice of a single cornstalk, in some Western field, upon which grew five ears, blood-red, and clinging together in the exact shape of a human hand. In a modest Western village, Girdled by the prairies wide, Three bright children grew together, And were nurtured side by side. Two were strong, brave boys; the other, A fair girl, - so fair, I ween, All the flowers that flecked the prairies Might have claimed her as their queen. There they grew and played together, By no tie of kindred bound. Young McAlpine's Saxon forehead Sunny tresses softly crowned; While to Unez - dark hair sweeping Round a low, swart brow, remains From Castilian blood still leaping Hot and fervid through his veins, And his lustrous eyes surcharging With the fires of love or rage, Storm and strife mayhap betokened, Or a stain on life's fair page.

Book Description
Pulitzer Prize–winning poet C. K. Williams's personal reflection on the art of Walt Whitman In this book, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet C. K. Williams sets aside the mass of biography and literary criticism that has accumulated around Walt Whitman and attempts to go back to Leaves of Grass as he first encountered it—to explore why Whitman's epic "continues to inspire and sometimes daunt" him. The result is a personal reassessment and appreciation of one master poet by another, as well as an unconventional and brilliant introduction to Whitman. Beautifully written and rich with insight, this is a book that refreshes our ability to see Whitman in all his power.
