Poem Video: "Multitudes"

According to the Poetry Foundation, "It's difficult to overstate the impact that Walt Whitman has had on American poetry." The animated video "Multitudes," created by Manual Cinema and the Poetry Foundation, "explores eight segments of Whitman's central poem, 'Song of Myself,' featuring readings by three contemporary poets -- Kaveh Akbar, Duriel E. Harris, and Yusef Komunyakaa -- and innovative puppetry by Manual Cinema."
