A Whitman Tribute

Eamon Grennan: Matter of Fact (Graywolf)
Major Jackson: Hoops (Norton)
Pattiann Rogers: Wayfare (Penguin)

Three poets join us on Bookworm to celebrate Walt Whitman. They read from Leaves of Grass, describe Whitman's influence on their work, read their own poems, and, in general, paint a raucous, friendly, informal portrait of the Good Gray Poet — America's greatest.
