Visiting Walt: Poems Inspired by the Life & Work of Walt WhitmanSheila Coghill, Thom Tammaro Visiting Walt is a vivid reminder that poetry is nothing less that the greatest conversation ever held. No poet spoke more ardently to the future than Whitman, and here, he is answered by a democratic chorus of his descendants--a hundred of his children talking back to their looming, inescapable, fathomless father. --Billy Collins. |
