(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Selznick. This movingly illustrated picture book biography focuses on the Civil War years. In well-crafted prose, Kerley stresses the poet's love of words and his compassion for the common people. Selznick extends the text with glorious colored-pencil drawings. The quoted lines are carefully chosen, and more complete versions of the poems are included in the back matter. Bib.
