Drawing the Living World: The Illustrated Books of Allen Crawford

Allen Crawford, Illustrator

Crawford, winner of multiple awards for illustration, will share and discuss his two most recent books, both devotionals to the natural world. Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself is an illustrated, hand-lettered edition of Walt Whitman’s landmark pantheistic poem, “Song of Myself.” A Wild Promise celebrates the Endangered Species Act. Crawford’s work is on permanent display at the American Museum of Natural History.

A lifelong naturalist and conservationist, he also is a trail steward for the New Jersey Park Service.
