Status Updates From Leaves of Grass

creo que se está ahogando. pobres puntos

Preface/I Sing the Body Electric: Whitman is a good writer.

The Sleepers and Faces: only a handful of poems left. Thinking I’ll save the prose intro for last? If I ever read it in fact.

Favorites: When I Read The Book, Starting from Paumanok 14, and Song of Myself 3 and 7

So far, just started the actual epic and read the intro. 2 current thoughts: 1) this man LOVES a good yap and a run on sentence- but in the best way possible. His intro is tangential but written as if it was in verse? Fascinating to read. 2) i would be FASCINATED to see how this die-hard pro-USA man would feel about its current climate... excited for the poetry :))
