Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
3.0
I was reading Whitman’s collected works, but I’m shelving it right at the end of Calamus, I’m really just not interesting in continuing, at least not right now. Had the collection sitting on my bedside table far too long and I’m just never gonna pick it up again.
Leaves of Grass was alright, I just don’t think it’s for me. O, this, O, that! Whatever, yea, I don’t see much substance is describing a million different things and saying they rock, I find Whitman really unconvincing in his telling of how beautiful America is. A couple really great sections in Song of Myself, but so bloated and repetitive. I’ll try again, I’ve heard Whitman makes more sense as you grow older. To me, right now, it’s just a chore to read.
