Walt Whitman in 1862 (public domain photo by Matthew Brady).
A new post from Peter Quadrino for those of you who are interested in James Joyce.
"Lately, I've been interested in Walt Whitman (1819-1892) and what impact he had on James Joyce (1882-1941), and this influence seems more significant than most commentators have tended to note."
I don't remember RAW talking about Whitman, but I'm sure RAW read him, Whitman was such a major and influential American poet.

Wilson told me he considered Whitman, Pound, and Ginsberg the only American poets who really interested him.
