ellzell 's review for:

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
5.0

*4.5 goodreads give me a 1/2 star option you coward!!

okay so pros!! so many of these poems still felt relevant and thoughtful even tho they were written in 1844. like so many of the poems still feel touching and heartfelt. a lgbtq+ man who wrote poems about pinning and yearning for queer love in 1844!! another pro! a man from virginia who was not a confederate soldier! he was a nurse(?) for the union

cons... manifest destiny jump scares and way more poems on war than i anticipated??
