I hate poetry but I loved this - the examination of life and relation to nature, how we all are connected, how we die but are not truly gone. It is an amazing look at Whitman’s life but also humanity. This was a fun reread this afternoon. I greatly enjoyed this and find comfort in it.

A poem that describes the American spirit, not the American dream nor the American way of life, but the American Spirit, with nature, diversity, tolerance, freedom and above all one's individual power in a society of individuals.

Very American. I enjoyed imagining how this poetry must have been received by the more conservative 19th century. Engaging. Perfect reading for a pandemic I think

listening to this via audiobook was like sitting in on someone's fever dream. appreciated the part god complex and part gender crisis. stars for positive outlook on humanity, our bonds that tie us together, and for writing the first self love help book.
