In this episode we briefly explore two of America's greatest poets, Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. Though our introduction is short, I share some of the common themes that run through their work, and I talk give a few keys to help you as you read through their poems. These poets are well worth your time, especially since they explore topics we have seen much in the prior content of the course. 

This is also the final episode in the first season of this podcast channel. As I note towards the end, it has been great fun to make these, and I hope you have found them useful. I will be shifting to a new 'season' soon as I cover content for other courses.
