Walt Whitman

[SFG75]

Did a search for him, but didn't find any in the authors section. I've been a big fan of his since college. Read a few of his works in high school, but sometimes education is wasted on the young

Here are a few great sites to visit:

Recovered notebooks, the Walt Whitman Collection

A short biography

Some weird literary criticism site regarding his works

I would never have known who he was if I hadn't watched Dead Poets' Society. What I heard of him there I liked and as a result I did look up some of his poetry. Thanks for the links.

i didn't really liked Walt Whitman, he sounded so all knowing and all the questions he asked, he knew the answers, that's irretating.
