It's #WorldPoetryDay. What poem would you recommend that we read? Mine is Allen Ginsberg's, "A Supermarket in California." Here's a few lines & a link to the whole poem:
I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel?

#Whitman singing.
Have you ever loved the body of a woman?/Have you ever loved the body of a man?/Do you not see that these are exactly the same to all in all nations/and times all over the earth?
. . . .Have you seen the fool that corrupted his/ own live body? or the fool/that corrupted her own live body?/ For they do not conceal themselves, and cannot /conceal themselves.

Last year at the annual Whitman Archive lunch I won the coveted Whitman trophy for the first time and it has sat on my desk all year. Today it (probably) goes to a new home.
This was full of water when they first made it. #whitman

📢 New Book Alert!
✍️'Divine Style: #WaltWhitman and the King James Bible' by F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp is OUT NOW!
In exploring the seminal works of #WaltWhitman, the great #American poet, many commentators have acknowledged the underlying influence of The #KingJamesBible. However, a study has yet to elucidate the precise manner in which the #Bible has shaped #Whitman’s poetic style.
This is the deficit that the author seeks to address in his new piece of literary scholarship. Dobbs-Allsopp, Professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, explicitly approaches #Whitman from the perspective of a #biblical scholar.
Utilising his wealth of expertise in this field, he constructs a compelling argument for the King James Bible’s importance in the evolution of #Whitman’s style – from his signature long lines to the prevalence of #parallelism and tendency towards #parataxis in his works.
