Lincoln and Whitman: Parallel Lives in Civil War Washington

Random House Trade Paperbacks
, 2005
The Good Gray Poet...and Lincoln as Muse
Daniel Mark Epstein succeeds at what seems simple, but in truth is a daunting task: combining the literary and the historical in a moving, evocative narrative. The book gracefully moves between and across the lives of Lincoln and Whitman, with a cathartic spirit ...
Nat King Cole

Northeastern

Exceptional
Rare to have such a comprehensive biography. In detail Mr. Epstein recounts incidents and the racial hatred encountered by Nat King Cole in vivid detail. Excellent read. The most compelling bio on Nat King Cole I've come across.
No Vacancies in Hell

Liveright Publishing Corporation
, 1996
An American Classic
This book was in my parent's collection, and I first read it years ago. Epstein sent a shock through the poetry world in the 1970s when he published this book of erotic love poems and dramatic monologues, and many of the pieces, such as "The Assassins" and "The ...
What Lips My Lips Have Kissed: The Loves and Love Poems of Edna St. Vincent Millay
Daniel Mark Epstein
Holt Paperbacks
, 2002
The best so far
This is simply a great biography. Apparently Epstein was able to gain access to a vast Library of Congress collection of documents on Millay that won't be released to the public until 2010. And he seems to have done an unusually good job of sorting through all this ...

Thank you, Daniel Mark Epstein
I have never had a book effect me so personally before. I felt as though I was Sister Aimee. I attended L.I.F.E., the school she founded, and knew many of the people referred to. I was too young to have met Sister Aimee, but the book helped me to know the lady I so ...

a return to classics
I went to Columbia, with the most prominent 'great books' curriculum still in existence. 25 years later, I'm finding myself re-reading and discussing many of the titles. The Penn Greek Drama series is a handsome library of new translations that give fresh takes on the ...
