And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book markers
That measure what we've lost
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book markers
That measure what we've lost

David Levine on writers: Samuel Richardson
David Levine (1926-2009) was one of America’s most prominent illustrators during a career that spanned decades.

Levine’s subjects included himself (above) and people from many walks of life. Authors, scribes and scribblers were a big part of the mix, as these caricatures make clear.
