Editorial reviews

The great Whitman was a humanist. His writing bridged the gap between transcendentalism and realism. Whitman defined what it means to be a citizen of America in concrete and mythical terms. This particular text was culled together for an English audience. It contains excerpts from Leaves of Grass, but also includes parts of Drum Taps. Additionally, a good portion of this text is devoted to examining and rebutting negative critiques of Whitman’s work by British critics. Narrator Mark Moseley patiently and succinctly recites the literary arguments. But Moseley’s voice blossoms with love and empathy as he shares Whitman’s poetry. Whitman’s passionate explanations of personhood, society, and nature are winsomely rendered and thoroughly celebrated by Moseley.

Walt Whitman has a style of his own. Listen to the talk of individual divinity and the knowledge of the soul.

Good American Poerty

the selection was made based on poems that were unlikely to offend 19th century sensibilities. odds are the best poems are missing. performance is ok... very little poetry in the readers voice, more prosaic. otherwise it's satisfying.

Bad sound in some parts. Why does it happen? I would like to know why.

What disappointed you about Poems by Walt Whitman?

I bought the audible version and then went to my cloud to download the audiobook so I could listen to it but it wasnt there. Guess I got ripped off.
