Selected Poems | Walt Whitman

Pickpick

"I announce natural persons to arise,
I announce justice triumphant,
I announce uncompromising liberty & equality,
I announce the justification of candor & the justification of pride."
I described Whitman on IG as a "poet of mornings" & I read these over months, every morning, & he gave me life. I know his exhortatory style is easy to make fun of (I do, too!) but I ❤️ it. Whitman is the GOAT. I need to invest in a nice edition of Leaves of Grass.

TrishB I have this collection 😁 2y

Centique Walt Whitman is the GOAT 🙌. I love that! I haven‘t read a lot of Walt but I love reading parts of Leaves of Grass out loud. So stirring. I think your idea of reading it in the mornings is brilliant 😍 2y
batsy @Centique There's something about reading Walt in the mornings 🥰 A rousing form of meditation, which seems counterproductive but works for me 😊 2y

“I know I am restless and make others so”
One thing I love about #poetry is that it leads you to a deeper understanding of yourself, whether you‘re ready or not.

I was adding my staggering #FavoritePoetSwap haul to my Goodreads tbr-on-shelf list and the title of this caught my eye. It is a fun one to read aloud to your Roommate‘s Cat, should you have one, especially if you read faster and louder as you go. Thank you @Trashcanman for your thoughtfulness and generosity. I‘m fortunate to have you as my friend.

Trashcanman 💕😊🤗 6y

#FavoritePoetSwap has arrived on this chilly Colorado night! Folks, let me tell you, if a Lozano gets you in a swap, you‘re in thoughtful, generous hands! Thank you so much for sending me so many poems to read. I‘m looking forward to each book. The treats are perfect and the rainbow card a delight. The Shelly pamphlet advertises something that will help with my “head noises”! (Finally!😅) hugs&thanks, my friend, my friend! 🤗🖤 thanks @LazyDays 💜

LazyDays How wonderful!🙌🙌💗💗💗 6y
