-Allen’s latest book, Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself (Tin House Books) is an illustrated, hand-lettered, 256-page edition of Walt Whitman’s iconic poem. It’s scheduled for release on May 13, 2014.
-A lower-case adventurer and explorer of what he calls “the local frontier,” Allen spends most of his time among the nooks and margins of the forgotten, the curious, and the speculative that is found beneath, around, and between the everyday. He lives in a small Quaker town in central New Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia.
