A review by ashleighjadereads
Song of Myself by Walt Whitman

4.0

I loved the sense of common value, equal worth and overall joyful tone of this poem. It does read like a song, and in terms of freedom of style and form it is far ahead of its time. I would really never have said it was written in the nineteenth century. Walt Whitman was a bonafide hipster (in the true sense, not in the overdone pretentious sense that we are familiar with today). If this isn't the American Dream then I don't know what is.
