Meet America's pre-eminent poet as he shares the story of his life intermingled with the poems we have all grown to love. Hear eloquent selections from "Leaves of Grass," and his philosophy of free verse. Listen to tales of the Civil War in poetry from "Drum Taps." Celebrate the life of Abraham Lincoln in his eulogy "Oh, Captain, My Captain." Few poets have transformed poetry or captured the voice of America like Walt Whitman. Come, take my hand, spend an hour immersed in the mystical delight of the old gray bearded poet.The author, Brian "Fox" Ellis, is more than a fan of Whitman, he spent a week in New York and Brooklyn, walking in Whitman's footsteps reciting Whitman to anyone who would listen, often reading poems in the places where they were written. Fox has created more than a dozen one man shows, is the author of more than 30 books including three books of poetry and fifteen History In Person biographies.This book is part of a growing series of live performances available as audio-books, video, ebooks and print on demand paperbacks. Look for other books in the History In Person series. Subscribe to the Fox Tales International podcast and YouTube channel to collect all of these unauthorized autobiographies.
