SE01E04 | Beginning My Studies | Walt Whitman

from I Could Think of Verse Hosted by Garfield Dsouza

Insects, animals, the senses, and of course, love. All of those dress up 'Beginning My Studies' as a poem about one's love for nature. But can such a poem—that sallied forth from Walt Whitman into his rather autobiographical ‘Leaves of Grass’—be content to remain just a poem about nature alone? This episode looks at that very possibility.
