You're in for a treat, BOb!
I just finished
reading listening to the
Librivox recording of
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, the Literary
Book Club's January selection. It was a fantastic experience, and I've long felt that poetry was meant to be heard more than read. Nevertheless, I've also started reading the Illustrated and Annotated
Death Bed Edition of
Leaves of Grass as well. It will take me a while to finish, but Whitman is certainly one of the most enjoyable and accessible poets who ever lived.
