- Notes:
- "First edition, 1969."
- "In 'Overhead the Sun, Antonio Frasconi celebrates Whitman's celebration of the world's 'gliding wonders' and honors him on his 150th birthday ... 'Illustration' must here be understood partly in the traditional sense but partly as the free interpretation of lyrical texts by which Frasconi achieves a kind of graphic poetry."--Dust jacket.
