In today's episode, we explore "Leaves of Grass," a remarkable collection of poems by Walt Whitman that celebrates life, nature, and the human spirit. Originally published in 1855, this evolving work captures Whitman's deep connection to nature, individuality, and the ideals of democracy and equality. We discuss how Whitman's use of free verse allows for natural expression, and how themes of love, life, and death permeate his poetry. Join us as we reflect on Whitman's enduring message and the beauty of existence. Thank you for tuning in!
