Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 276 - Beat! Beat! Drums!

After three episodes on President Abraham Lincoln, I would like to delve into arguably America’s greatest poet - a man whose entire outlook on life was intertwined with this positive views of and strong belief in democracy - Walt Whitman.  Art historian Mary Berenson wrote, "You cannot really understand America without Walt Whitman, without his classic Leaves of Grass... He has expressed that civilization, 'up to date,' as he would say, and no student of the philosophy of history can do without him."
