"The Final Say: Walt Whitman's Poetry" by Monty Gilmer
THE FINAL SAY: WALT WHITMAN'S POETRY
by Monty Gilmer
According to Mary Wilson Little, "There is a great deal of prose license in Walt Whitman's poetry."
As Lewis Mumford wrote, "People have hesitated to call Whitman's poems poetry; it is useless to deny that they belong to sacred literature."
Walt Whitman,
born on this day in 1819
