Library Lecture: Walt Whitman – American Icon
Walt Whitman’s legacy—iconoclast, celebrity, and the father of American poetry—is unparalleled in its influence on American writing and culture. David Haven Blake and Michael Robertson, professors of English at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and co-editors of Walt Whitman, Where the Future Becomes Present, discuss the impact that Whitman has had on American culture—an impact that reaches far beyond his influence on poetry.
