Little late in posting this. I figure I'll slap up a few links re: the poets we discover on Monday mornings. First up was the Good Gray Poet, Walt Whitman. Famous for more than just that crazy-cool beard, Whitman is if not the father of free verse, then he's certainly the stepfather of it. Long lines that echo prose rhythms, all about the American body politic. All America, all the time with this guy. U-S-A! U-S-A!Woo-hoo! (We did win the Olympics, right?)
