Weekly Whitman Preview

Who has longed for the ear of America more than Walt Whitman? Who else calls us back to the voice again and again? Who else sings of identity and distinction with equal measure? 

Yet it is my own self, in this show, who has been seduced by the ghost of Walt Whitman. Love often emboldens one to take extraordinary leaps. Such was I this Fourth of July, when I went to Whitman, as I often do, to hear of his big ideas of America. I was enraptured, and felt compelled to speak them in all my silly passion. I did a recording, and, taken by the spirit of the book, I now issue my Weekly Whitman.
