As he was turning forty, Whitman privately wrote a series of poems entitled “Live Oak, with Moss”, portraying his most ardent explorations of same-sex love. Join illustrator Brian Selznick and Whitman scholar Karen Karbiener as they discuss this revolutionary collection that Whitman never published and has remained largely unknown—until now.
