and we ll probably cross paths again in the future This collection of poetry features an excerpt from the 19th century American poet s famous Leaves of Grass The first part mainly deals with the greatness of American pioneers nay , while the second part focusses on the beauty and the impact of nature yay As many of the Little Black Classics unfortunately do, this one suffered from the lack of context and background information The poems felt scattered and it made reading them harder than it should have been As a non American I can only appreciate the devotion to his country he portrays from a distance and it makes his work interesting, ...Just kill me now This is one book I didn t want to review I ve been avoiding this thing, this monster, for months I just don t get along with Whitman any This edition is essentially random verses from Whitman sLeaves of Grassand perhaps that s the problem The verses are taken out of their respective contexts and shoved in here So not only do we have obscure and, well let s just face it, weird poetry, but we also having it not making any se...Favorite poem Patroling Barnegat Favorite quotes Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you,

likely won t be picking upof his work.LitRead all my reviews on This one wasn t for me I had of course heard of the author...2.7 starsI am so bad at reading poetry, but I want to learn I liked this and all the different ways he talked about the sea and the beach, my favourite places to be.The selection of the poems felt very disjointed and I did not understand everything and felt some parts were very boring, but there were one or two poems that really touched me It was a really strange feeling for someone who hardly reads likes any poetry And I m not even sure WHY I liked the parts I liked and why I disliked the ones I disliked Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you, that you be my poem I whisper with my lips close to your ear,I have loved many women and men, but I love The

still don t, really, but his exuberance, despite its grating dramatics, is sometimes compelling, like the sea calling to the sea within.
