A work of historical fiction featuring previously unpublished material, this 200-page publication from artist John Ransom Phillips takes on US Presidents in his signature dreamlike style. Inspired by the Walt Whitman poem, The Dreamers, Phillips' distinctive paintings and poems conjure an imaginary look inside the minds and dreams of all 45 former United States Presidents.
