This book is fantastic—too bad its a zillion pages long. Anyway just finished the "chapters" on the Civil War (Steinbeck was a nurse) and Lincoln. Whitman's anthems are awesome!

This is really good--Whitman is a very happy poet, who really enjoys life. He is also gay, and writes poems about his lovers--but it is not Howl. I will put this aside for now and read Byron.
