As he was turning forty, Walt Whitman privately wrote a series of poems entitled “Live Oak, with Moss,” portraying his most ardent explorations of same-sex love. Join Caldecott-winning illustrator Brian Selznick and Professor Karbiener as they present Live Oak, with Moss (Abrams, 2019), their new illustrated edition of this revolutionary collection that has remained largely unknown—until now.
