Half of this collection is truly exquisite and the other half is Walt going “here is a list of things I like :)” but it’s all enjoyable so I have very few complaints.

I understand why everyone in the 1800s want to have sex with him because if I was alive in the 1800s and I read this I’d want to sleep with him too because I’ve read this in 2024 and I would sleep with him. 10 points to the narrator for doing the bird voice for the bird poems.

Truly transformative to read in its entirety for the first time. I enjoyed Whitman's version of Transcendentalism (if one could even call it that) a lot more than his predecessors - it felt more realistic and honest.

3.5 // first foray into whitman and slightly disappointed?! while i enjoyed certain lines and wording at times, as a whole, i didn’t gel that well with his style. it felt a tad drawn out and excessive at times.

Walt Whitman wrote beautiful, earthy, amazing poetry. Read it!
