Earth, My Likeness

Nature Poetry of Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

While Walt Whitman is best known as America's first great urban poet, he was also a gifted nature poet, as the selections in this book show. Here his celebration of the "body electric" from Leaves of Grass expands into a celebration of an equally electrifying nature as he memorializes the seashore, the night sky, animals, even daydreaming in the grass. Earth, My Likeness showcases Whitman's entwining of outer nature and inner nature, the unique way he made his nature poetry and his love poetry inseparable.

Perdurabo, Revised and Expanded Edition

The Life of Aleister Crowley

Richard Kaczynski

The name "Aleister Crowley" instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences—and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than "the Beast," as this authoritative biography shows. Perdurabo traces Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world's foremost authority on magick. Based on Richard Kaczynski's twenty years of research, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.
