Walt Whitman was a great revolutionary besides being an admirable poet, and that's the thing which I liked the most about this video

[@sajomathew]

Not many understand some of his poems. He was writing so many of the poem from his own direct experience with reality ( or so called enlightenment).

[@pradaptaoktariana2701]

Am excellent poet!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@WaltFxd]

helpful video

[@deborahchinn2439]

The greatest poets are never appreciated during their lifetime. Ironically and tragically, celebrities with absolutely nothing to offer that is meaningful or eternal, relish in fame and fortune.

[@mjhzen8313]

Whitman's message was good: equality, and so forth. In other words, "what" he wrote about had value. "How" he wrote about it is another thing altogether. I tried to read Leaves of Grass, but only got about fifty pages in. It's a bunch of gunk with only one message, repeated endlessly. He may have "revolutionised" (English spelling) American Poetry, but not necessarily for the better.

[@titteryenot4524]

The truth about Whitman, as I see it, was that he’d experienced cosmic consciousness, and everything he wrote was coming from this. To those who haven’t experienced this (mostly everyone), he will seem outlandish, even just plain crazy. He’s not alone though; Jesus, Buddha, Shakespeare, Goethe, Dante, Emerson, Dickinson et al all had these intimations of immortality. However, even without this angle, Whitman can just be read as humanistic wisdom for the ages. Those who claim something ‘off’, or worse, about him are, in my experience, usually rigid, linear thinkers who have sold their soul to this so-called holy book or that so-called holy book. There is more wisdom in 🍁 Leaves of Grass than all those dusty tomes put together.
