Ilene Barnowitz knows how to draw the reader back in time to experience again the horrific disaster: the sinking of the majestic Titanic 100 years ago. Though this historical event has been well documented and brought to life for generations to come, I was totally pulled into the scene once more. I had to read this book until the end in one session. Horace Greeley's epic poem comes to life powerfully through the intertwined historical illustrations. I felt the horror, the power of nature, and human greatness and despair.I applaud Ilene Barnowitz how she so sensitively and masterfully presented a different perspective of the never forgotten historical event. She honored the "Titanic Community", Horace Greely, the preserved images, history, and nature's power. A fine book!!
