Website of the Week (WoW) #143: Walt Whitman–“Song of Myself” [WhitmanWeb]
Whitman goes global. Read Walt Whitman’s American epic poem in 15 languages (at last count); commentaries and questions in English, Russian and Persian; and recordings of the poem in English and Persian. In this poem, Whitman “sought … to voice an ‘I’ that would for the first time articulate just what a non-hierarchical and nondiscriminating sensibility would sound like.”
