The Poetry of Walt Whitman Audiobook

" Completed reading the works of Walt Whitman... Really enjoyed it! Very impressed with his work, particularly the gender and race equality expressed, love of the outdoors, first hand accounts of travel, Nature, Politics, Civil War... and finally the way he refers to "you the reader." "

" I don't love Whitman, but I did find more of him to like this time around--mostly the things that come after "Song of Myself." Good job on the singing and celebrating, though, WW. "

" haven't read all of it...but song of myself makes me tremble "

" While I can't claim to have read all of it, Leaves of Grass is great. Whitman's prose works are also quite good, particularly "Democratic Vistas." "

" Wonderful piece of writing - so happy to have had the experience of taking an entire course on Whitman. "

" I will never finish this. "

" I actually haven't read the complete works, but I adore "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking". I would like to read more to learn if I actually like this poet. "

" The end all and be all. Whitman makes my blood dance. "

" what can I say? a shooting star I want to reach out and grab "

" The zenith of American poetry--to this day! "

" I can see why Nicholas Sparks uses Whitman as his inspiration. His poems are music for the eyes, especially the female eyes. "

" Right now he is my favorite poet. Just an all American man who really lived his life to the fullest and helped many people along the way. Love all of his work. His poetry really makes you feel the way he felt when he wrote it. He had a love of nature (esp. birds) like no other. "

" A great American voice, from the complexities of Song of Myself to the simplicity of The Last Invocation. "

" The Whitman I go by! "

" How did I miss this?...fantastic. "

" I will always be reading this book. The man is brillant. "

" I cherish this book. If I had to choose only one book to read for the rest of life, this might be the one I would choose. "

" My favorite poet ever. He is truly an enlightened being. "

" Song of myself and leaves of grass are unparalleled. "

" Whitman captured me from the first line "I celebrate myself." Whitman's ability to unite with nature and the people around him brought me to a unification of my own. "

" an absolutely excellent edition. altho the prose selections are more sparse than i would like, some gesture toward portability had to be made. "

" Some of Whitman's more prosaic excesses don't work for me; but other parts make me cry like a child. "

" A true classic!I read this book in high school and it's as profound today is it was then. "

" Leaves of Grass is short and deep and beautiful.It gave me hope and despair, affirmed and denied me, raised me up, brought me down, and leveled me out. I will certainly read it again. If you haven't yet, take the time. "

" Give me the splendid silent sun with all its beams full dazzling. "

" Really nice descriptions. He seems like a humble man.I'm not sure why he wanted to write about other cultures when he knew so little about them.I found it repetitive at times. "

" This book perpetually occupies my "currently reading shelf": when I feel callous or angry or lost, I reach for it, thumb to a random page, read whatever it says and feel at once redeemed. "

" A quintessential American voice. He loved our Full Selves. Unabridged, always unabridged. "

" Sublime. La poesía de Whitman es una delicia. Tan contundente, tan poderosa... "

" I doubt I am qualified to say anything of note about this classic, but it's a collection I am very much looking forward to rereading. "

" A masterpiece. In every sense of the word. "

" Ah poetry, how I love thee like leaves shedding in the fall. "
